Good job BlackStar, I don't know how long it took you to summarize all this from few references into a topic that is quite interesting to discuss. I really appreciate your effort.
Money cannot be separated from the way humans transact to fulfill their need, from barter, fiat money, non-cash transaction to Bitcoin which has changed world civilization. Bitcoin has made transactions easier, faster, and of course quite safe.
My assumption is that the world population will favor a faster technology, cheap and safe. The history of a bitcoin will continue, no business in the history of the world has been able to increase 40-45 thousand times in 10 years.
