Any bets on how long until it dies?
The current average is about 2 years.
My bet is therefore 2 years. ;D

It seems to me that it will happen even faster. America is the main enemy of bitcoin so they will do everything in my power to save the dollar and kill bitcoin. Perhaps this exchange will become a training base for U.S. intelligence.

I'm in the US and I agree with this sentiment!  It's crazy how antagonistic the US government is to crypto!  What's the best exchange that's outside of US influence?

A training base? We might have forgotten to look at it from a different angle.. perhaps it is U.S. intelligence, posing as an exchange.

Joke aside, I hope bitcoin will continue to grow in the future and find more stable and lasting acceptance not just as a currency but also as a payment method in the retail environment. It's the anonymity factor which the US hates. Banks are easier to regulate and sanction, if they cross the line, while bitcoin transactions are easier to obfuscate and are not susceptible to blocking, freezing or suspending... those time-tested tools which keep the average Joe and plain Jane under control.

Since it's a well known exchange already, it's gonna last a lot longer than that. Well of course that is if they'd be subject to appropriate regulations.
