Ten years is a long way if Bitcoin will be destroyed it should have been in the third or fourth year, not now that everybody is looking at it and wants to be part of the community, I don't know what will come that will get us caught by surprised, Bitcoin and the community has experienced everything, do you have a hint of what it is?
Yeap, this is the Lindy Effect I'm counting on to take us through the next decade and then see us out til my death (which hopefully, isn't for a few more decades!).
It definitely should have been put down the minute someone even decided it would be a way to circumvent politics (wikileaks for example). But it didn't die did it? The last threat I actually thought might do something was the Bcash event, but fortunately for us, their motivations became all too clear and the good actors shored up.
I don't think we have experienced everything yet though so we're not clear. I would like to see something again. People keep talking about parabolas etc but they sometimes should consider after every catastrophe avoided, Bitcoin becomes stronger. Maybe the 2017 bull was this display of strength from adversity.
