...Bitcoin is a gamble today, as it's fate is far from certain. However "tomorrow" (once it's fate has been established if it will be successful) then it will likely be a good store of value as it's price will have stabilized

Two unreasonable assumptions:
1. Bitcoin will succeed (many clonecoins have died)
2. Price will stabilize

1. Why? All you hypocrites spread this liberal socialist propaganda, about decentralization, and yet all of you are greedy. Everyone expects 1 billion percent increase in price so that they can become a millionaire without a drop of sweat. Well if bitcoin is driven by greed and insanity I don't think it will succeed.

2. I agree - price will stabilize. But I don't think it will increase. I think price needs to drop significantly, in order for the market to grow. Once it reaches 200 million people, even if price is at 25$ stable, there will be ways to buy bitcoin with a credit card and trade on the real forex market - not just market makers. Then an increase of 2$ in price would bring you 1000%. The difference - vast liquidity, making the market move up and down faster and with better predictability and stability. Right now the bullcrap behind it shows.
