Read a similar analysis by a forum member here. His underlying doubt is that BTC will struggle to hit critical mass. I like to look at it demographically. The up and coming generations growing up with technology will embrace the logical reasoning and efficiency behind a system such at BTC. The technologically fluent will be the driver behind adoption toward critical mass.
BTC may be volatile for years to come but the endgame seems the same, based on rational outcomes of our world (No ww3, deadly virus, asteroid, etc).
I see it as a technology boom not so much a BTC boom....and who doesn`t love and want more technology?
IMPO...
