Aren't we (or let's say the BitcoinTalk experts) guessing (or hoping?) that it won't take 20 years for it and its more realistic it reaches that amount in like 5 years or am I just talking crap with this statement?

I guess I'll Google up some the term 'wars'. If the world has gone to absolute devastation, the term war will probably result in the most direct answer to the IF and if so the WHY.

Btw, can I ask if the 360 seconds post-limit is for every rank or is it only for newbies? I am a very fast typer and this really makes me just sit out time before I can respond to topics. And I am not spamming neither, just bored and this forum has quite a lot of interesting topics. I understand it's to stop post-spammers so I would like to know if this is for every rank or just untill you have proven to be a 'stayer'/normal poster.
