BITCOINS WILL NEVER DIE.
NEVER
NEVER
NEVER

Even if SHA-256 gets cracked (via quantum computing) the blockchain can and will be upgraded...

Now, Bitcoins price can crash at any moment Wink.

I am glad that bitcoin will survive.  It's a fantastic idea.  But, I also don't want the money I put into it to have less purchasing power over time. 

I sold at 11.  I have more purchasing power.  I day trade until it falls.  Then I speculate (unless its very volatile).  I don't see any huge upswing in value until exchanges provide insurance to users and until sites like bitcoindeals really get off the ground.
