Bitcoin is the digital currency of the new generation and it is more created for entertainment. I do not expect a long-term outlook, because without the Internet, it will simply disappear.
You do have a point, but actually i don't agree btc is for entertainment purposes. I feel that it does have far more reaching potential than the 'powers that be' would like to acknowledge. To start with, the fact that regular people like ourselves have btc means the establishment may not like it.
