After spending much time as a guest on this forum learning all I can about Bitcoin, I finally decided to join. Glad to be here and thanks for all the great advice along the way!

Now I have a question I'd like to ask. Is Bitcoin going to get to the point where it is too big to fail? The government bailed out Wall Street to avoid a financial collapse. Can Bitcoin gain the same status as Wall Street? The market cap is steadily increasing making it a big player in the game and I'm looking forward to where it is headed.

Thanks in advance!

Nope, anything big can also fail. For example have a look at the world economy in 2018. Anything and everything can happen at any time. While bitcoin is looking fairly strong for now, anything can change for tomorrow.

However for sure it is a good investment now, but we know things can change. If the lightning network is not implemented at all, I'd say Bitcoin has a rather grim future ahead of itself.

Bitcoin can change and is volatile, its price can drop anytime, however there is no central organization that holds it which is why it would not possibly fall altogether.

Good start but wrong ending. It is exactly because of its decentralization that bitcoin can fail so quickly and drastically. There is no-one to hold it back unlike with the stock market.
