I just listened to an interview with Tyler Winklevoss where he discusses the current state of cryptocurrencies, and he said something that struck me as an interesting view that aligned with mine (and that actually surprised me Cheesy), and that is that he views Bitcoin (and if I'm not misrepresenting his words, cryptocurrencies in general) as a multigenerational investment. How I understood it is that he sees cryptocurrencies as important future currencies (he draws parallels between Bitcoin and Gold and ETH and Oil) that will be on the same level as others and will have much broader use than it has now, and with that, it's value will be much higher than it is today. He also goes on to predict that in the future you will not be selling your Bitcoin but rather lending it just like you do now with FIAT currencies in banks.

With that in mind, what do you (my fellow Bitcointalk members), think about holding on to your crypto and passing it on to your successors, or is this something you get in and then get out in your lifetime, and do you think his predictions are correct or is it just empty talk to get more people into it?

I personally find the multigenerational idea a really optimistic and positive one.
