But can it win the war?

Here’s what happened last year, according to The Money Project:

Using the benchmark of the U.S. Dollar Index, a comparison against a basket of major currencies, the dollar gained 8.3% throughout the year.

Despite this strength, the best performing currency in 2015 was not the dollar.

Bitcoin, a digital and decentralized cryptocurrency, staged a late comeback in 2015 to overtake the dollar by a whopping 35% by the end of the year.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

I am sure that Bitcoin will again be the TOP performing currency this year. It's just a matter of time before the institutional investors open their eyes for once and take a step into Bitcoin as it may turn out to be a safe haven while everything else in the world is crashing. And who knows will happen after that, if one or several of these bobo's find Bitcoin interesting enough, they might even bring Bitcoin to another level by having it listed on a real stock exchange as tradable item.
