This is actually the old news,I read about it last year(about crypto as only payment in 5 years),and I do not think this will happen in that time period,but I would certainly like that I'm not right.I do not know is he thinking that BTC will become main world currency or that governments will make their own digital coins,somehow I do not see China and Russia in his vision.

Draper is also invest in more then 40 coins how far it is known till today,so his statement about BTC as only stable cryptocurrency it is not something to be taken seriously,he is at the end only one more investor whose main goal is to make profit.

Only new thing in this article is his announcement regarding price prediction,interesting that he is published the date for that.At this point I do not see any significance of that date,but it is better to say something on April 12, then on April 1 Wink

I agree with Lucius. Old news or not, 5 years is still too soon and I guess too early to state that by that time Bitcoin would be used by the mass. With the government backlashing on Bitcoin adoption and considering the lack in technological advancements in parts of the world, Bitcoin mass use may still take a lot of time and consideration before fully employed in everyday use. However, things change so rapidly that I may be mistaken after awhile since we are in a pace where things are evolving rapidly. Only the present situation can give us assurance of what the state of Bitcoin would be.
