And the answer appears to be, a few more.

So here's the chart that to me, matters more:

If the price doesn't change much...20 years or so.

The current fiat system is in its death throes. The people will one day realize that bitcoin is the safest asset - probably after there's a major bank run.

That's when our little currency will start to really become worth something...  ;D
