Do you really think bitcoin will die?
Bitcoin is now a proven system. Has been developing very successfully for 7-8 years. Large financial institutions are investigating blockchain technology.
I do not think a system that will revolutionize innovation will die.
After sometime i believe that bitcoin will die yes. But how long will it last... well we can only speculate. Some kind of universal currency for all races on earth will be formed and that could be bitcoin, but i doubt it. Maybe bitcoin will be mother for that currency, or maybe it will be bitcoin, i'm not expert on bitcoin so everything is just my opinion. But i believe strongly that something will be born from bitcoin.
I don't think it will die. Maybe go down in value when another alt takes it's place. Even that may never happen. Just because bitcoin doesn't like to fork at this stage if its life doesn't mean that the developers will let it die. Whatever problems bitcoin is experiencing can be resolved by code. Like the block size debacle and eventually running out of block rewards.
No one is gonna let bitcoin die without a fight.
I am just guessing, nothing more. You could be right, bitcoin could go down and that would be it, it doesn't have to die. I know that there are a lot of people who like bitcoin the way it is. And it could live long enough. But sometime things happen, and whatever developers or some small group of people do, would just don't care. I saw a lot of good things go down just because majority didn't accept it.
