Looks like that if we are very lucky it will go the way of IBM:

But my guess is that the idiots led by saboteurs will utterly destroy it and it will become just another old failed cryptocoin.

Intersting theory,but crypto is booming Bitcoin is still the biggest by far. It has the biggest community by far, huge mining farms, worldwide attention, investors have discovered it. It has the worldwide press on it, and adoption is still increasing. So Bitcoin will continue to grrow for a while if you ask me. Its the mother of crypto. If bitcoin fails, it is most likely that 80% of the altcoins are going with it.

yes, but
1. the divide and conquer black ops are repeated one after another, each time on a bigger scale /with more resources, and each time a large amount of (l)users fall for them line, hook, and sinker;

2. what's the point of having the best developers if you are vulnerable to cheap psyops?

3. Every day I read of some new KYC/AML regulation regarding bitcoins. The other day Bitstamp submitted to me an insane questionnaire about my coins ("How did you make them?" "Prove it!"). Looks like they may kill it by regulation.

4. Soon or later some actually better cryptocoin will be invented. Storing the whole history of all transactions does not look a so practical or cool thing to me for example, both regarding scalability and privacy.

Really good points. Point 3 has also happened when i wanted to sell my coins. They mailed me that had to prove where the coins are coming from, and i said from an another trading tradingside. They dont believe me and blocked me from their exchange. There are already many better crypto's available than bitcoin. Crypto's with smart contracts (Ethereum), crypto that are 100% anonymous (ZEC, Monero etc), fast crypto ( Ethereum, Creditbit). But still Bitcoin is n1. We must be all idiots that are believing in a moon fairytale if we keep using bitcoin while we know that there are better cryptocurrencies.

But they dont have support on hardware wallets, lots of exchanges, marketing etc. Its hard to take that away from Bitcoin. Bitcoin is quite lucky that is was the first crypto around.
