After first few years of initiation and pump and dumps i believe in future we could see price stabilisation and finally bitcoin use as money but only if people realized that bitcoin is not investment, as it is now case. Bitcoin is used as money already and in the past, but is far more precious to people than real money..We must relax a bit.
We can equate bitcoin to the real money in future as we can do everything which we do with real money but it remains the same as virtual currency which was its fair nature from the day it originated.
