... if the technical part of Bitcoin stay as it is today, then simply Bitcoin wont survive for 20 years... and this is for sure.
You are bullish, in this case I'll only give it 4 - 5 years. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) apart from the obvious answer to extend functionality would any of you care to elaborate why. And please give concrete technical reasons Even if you cant figure for your self half of the challenges Bitcoin is facing, there is a wiki for that... take some time and read about it here Edit: for some reason they didn't include the Block size limit and blockchain size problem (could be in the future)

Thanks, very interesting. Sure many parties try to shape the bitcoin community, from the small investor (bear/bull) to stronger parties. Your post only encourages criticism when reading other's opinions that is good most of the time.

You pretend to know it all yet when someone posts an embedded image in a quote you have no idea what is going on. A lot of the presented attacks in that wiki are known weaknesses or potential attack vectors, yet many require focussed effort and a lot of financial power to be executed properly. While your statement is totally true (any code that survives 20 years without any modification is either very basic and hence easy to prove fully correct or its effects are so neglectible that there is no real point in focussing attention on it) it was made to throw a bad light on the current status quo of the core protocol code. Show me any complex software or service that will work for 20 years if external factors change. "if the technical part of Google search stay as it is today, then simply Google search wont survive for 20 years... and this is for sure. Statements like your original one just make you look like a fool

But this is where you are mistaken. Bitcoin is a protocol, that is true. Yet you fail to understand what it does. Bitcoin forms probabilistic consensus on a ledger of units where ownership is proven through digital signatures. The value lies in the ledger and that consensus is formed on it. Not on the concrete protocol specification [edit] To place an analogy. See bitcoin as the concept of sorting a list and the protocol as a concrete sorting implementation. It does not matter if you use quicksort or some weird randomized approach, the result is what matters.

I would say Bitcoin is a larger innovation than the internet really (of course it is dependent on it).

It is my opinion on this matter, consider me wrong with the possibility of being right, also all you said above doesn't argue or solve the real known issues, so I don't see any value with arguing further with you.

I would say Bitcoin is a larger innovation than the internet really (of course it is dependent on it). how can it be larger than it if it is dependent on it, where you came up with this logic ? listen to your self really.

This is you just backing out of the argument. I would love to get into specifics. Btw I am not heavily invested in bitcoin. I have a few but even if the bullish prediction of the vinklevii comes true it won't really change my life. I am however massively excited about the possibilities provided by cryptocurrencies. You know I don't have to subscribe to bitcoin as the winning ledger (yes, ledger not protocol) to believe in cryptos.
