If anyone follows world news. it is no secret that major countries are devalue their currencies. I don't think a complete wipe out will happen, but inflation will kick in someday violently. If bitcoin can live to that day, probably less than 3 year, btc should go up dramatically, in sync with gold. Of course,i am afraid governments will try to depress gold, maybe at the same time, bitcoins.
We don't need for currencies (fiat currencies) to get totally wiped as in disappear, but just the devaluation, hyper inflation and then the nail in the coffin which will be the fact that governments have an agenda to get rid of physical cash in the next 10 years, will make a massive demand for Bitcoin and will drive up to unforeseen marketcap level, then the people that didn't put the effort to store some now will cry because they will see with perspective that they missed the biggest train of their life.
