What do you think will be the fate of bitcoin in the future?
Bitcoin will for sure become insignificant and leave room to truly private coins like xmr, it will stay in history as a huge innovation but it's certain it will disappear and not in the far future, probably within 5 max 10 years.
More and more p2p exchanges will emerge and a true decentralization will take place.
I got asked why I think so:
I just make few examples: is the first automobile that was ever produced still in use? Is the first paper currency ever made still in circulation? No, and so on...
It's simply a matter of progress, what is initially invented inevitably gets improved upon and, depending on the circumstances, slowly or quickly put aside.
