I can easily believe that bitcoin won't be the one. While the conspiracy three letter agency/bank stuff doesn't turn me on, what could be a more perfect plan than planting the seed, prick the greed of a bunch of fractious techno weenies, let them do all the technical heavy lifting, kill it off themselves and then reap the technical benefits?
I strongly believe that has a bright future someday let's just wait for it to happen. and I believe to it because some of my friends serves as prove to me that their lives is more easier that before.
