I get your point. In my opinion with the current market of bitcoin, bitcoin now had already evolve and bitcoin now will not be consider as a new digital currency for it is already spreading all over around the world. The point where bitcoin will be had two options either bitcoin will continue to rise or as what OP had said that btc could be dying already after all the greedy people trying to make money in it and that will reap bitcoin system maybe now or might be in the future. Well, no one will going to know what will going to happen with bitcoin.
