"I'm sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume." -- Satoshi

Powerful, insightful, robust.

 :)

it's a binary outcome. Either it will be used heavily, or it will be dead by then. If volumes slow or go stagnant, people will leave

he said it very true. he gave a straight away answer for all the questions. but we all are thinking that bitcoin will be at the top after 20 years because of current trends but nobody can say what will happen to bitcoin in 20 years because it is a very long time.

Well, that is probably right (the possibility is always there for both outcomes) but we do hope that it would be on the "very large transaction volume" side. Many things can happen for 20 years just like the past years, so nobody really knows/predict. What's important is, bitcoin continually grow as days/months/years passes by, we just have to go with the flow and hope for the better :)

" I'm sure that in 5 years from now there will be very large transaction volume" --- Satoshi (2016)  ;D
I think satoshi will state this now, he shouldn't have to doubt about bitcoin having no volume from now on as bitcoin is well adopted worldwide in current situation and still big companies are getting attracted towards bitcoin to implement in their business. I am seeing golden future of bitcoin now on.

I never like these black and while statements in general. because the world doesn't work like that, nothing is black and while instead everything is grey!

I mean in 20 years bitcoin can still be the same as today, it can be used as a currency and as an investment with big swings and the transactions volume can be the same with even little growth.

Well i think i agree that it will be the same from now and for the future.. because according to satoshi said on 20 years either be very large volume or no volume its equal will be the result from now and or the future..
