Where do you see it's all collapsing at a rapid pace?
This post is FUD iteslf.
Try checking some charts, the news, and general consensus on the forums and comments, just ask people arround you about bitcoin, they will laugh and joke about it.
Even if 'rapid pace' isn't very accurate to you, okay, maybe it will take a bit longer, but it's inevitable, that much should be clear.
ehh, who cares what people around me say about bitcoin? they must of laughed at you for some other reasons, as for bitcoins they wont be laughing for long
