It is not possible to say that Bitcoin will Dead/end. Actual news can't say anyone, just they can gives idea. Nothing impossible but so tough for ending bitcoin. It has a big market and it support many others online payment gateway.So need until see the last.
Bitcoin is the earliest digital currency, replacing it would be better digital currency than illegal currency.
It's still too early to say that bitcoin failed or succeeded, and even if bitcoin failed, there would be more affordable electronic money. Some do not speak bitcoin or did not talk about Bitcoin, time will prove everything. Nothing can stop the trend.
