I think BTC will resemble whatever the individual wants it to resemble.

An anarchist will claim that it is perfect anarchy because of it's decentralized existence.

A socialist will claim that it is perfect socialism because of it's peer to peer existence.

(after all, look no further than the world of torrents to see what perfect socialism looks like)

Ben Bernanke will claim that it is the pinnacle of absurd because of it's monetarist qualities, along with lack of central authority.

Bitcoin is what you want it to be.  It's what you make of it.  And nothing more.
