How much will it fall?  I imagine a large chunk of the price is based on future potential, rather than current utility.

I wonder.  

Thought experiment: tomorrow you learn somehow that bitcoin will never go up in value, but will never go down in value either.  1 BTC will forever be able to purchase the same basket of goods.  

Would you hold more or less of your wealth in bitcoin than you currently do?  


Less, but I am not representative:  I am grossly over-exposed to BTC.  If I held BTC according to MPT, then my answer would be "more".  I think most investors follow MPT.  The forum has a disproportionate share of extreme speculators, relative to the general population, or even to the investing community at large.  I conclude that this line of reasoning is bullish.
