Highly speculative thread here.
Is there some mega-brain out there who would like to estimate how soaked this market can be with USD and other currencies before another competitor pops up and there is a mass rush to that currency?
Although I don't see any conceivable way that Bitcoin is going to be shut down I also have no illusions that it could hit a market capitalization of a Trillion USD or something without ByteCoin, CarrotCoin, etc springing up.
Probably in anywhere from 1-3 years from now they'll be 3 or 4 of these currencies at relatively stable rates since they would be competing against each other.
Thoughts?
