...it will be because at some point, the innovation stopped or otherwise became impossible.
the credit card was invented in the 1950's 65 years later we still have them in our pockets  i think btc has plenty of innovation and future yet lol  this is just the tip of the iceberg...... Those were charge cards. Actual credit cards began in the 60's and didn't gain much traction until the 70's. I tend to think of Bitcoin 2.0 as the next generation of credit cards. Credit is suffering because of security. Bitcoin is a steroid injection for security. american express was not the first and they launched theirs in 1958 but whether it was the 50's or 60's makes no differnce well over half a century later the idea of buying with a plastic card is still realistic its unimaginable where btc will be in another 50-60+ years and the things you might be able to do with it the future is bright ,ignore the FUD spreaders ,theyre only being greedy now because of short positions |

Credit cards were first mentioned in a sci-if ish novel written in the late 1800s. The structure of we all carry in our wallets first appeared in the 1920s. The first card that could be used with multiple merchants was the Diner's Club. It is an interesting story that drove the development of that first consolidation. Like so many things in this world, it took an itch, some passion, and some ingenuity (probably in descending order). Bitcoin was born of all three of those too but I think the ingenuity part is greater in the Bitcoin story.

Perhaps tell Paypal and Expedia and Mozilla and Wikimedia and NYSE and BBVA and DoCoMo that their acceptance and investments were all for not. Bitcoin's dead fellas, and it's not coming back.  |

$400 Million of investment is going to come online this year in a swath of new platforms and apps. No chance in hell Bitcoin is just going to go away quietly now.
Microsoft doesn't get involved unless they see something there. The Winklevii don't buy a large stake of BTC, build an ETF, or their own exchange because they think Bitcoin is going nowhere. VCs don't throw millions of Dollars at something unless they believe it will be successful.
Don't worry. This is like the beginning of the Internet itself. Right now we're at about 1995, which was a time of great developments which became what we have today. The Internet is in realty 50 year old project, and Bitcoin is another evolution on this path in giving the Internet a custom built transaction protocol, as well as a tectonic shift in cloud computing and decentralized networking. This stuff takes time, just be patient.
Look how far Bitcoin came in just one year. If anyone said Microsoft would be accepting Bitcoin for x-box live time this time last year, people would have said you were insane.

What have you learned from Bitcoin?
That corruption and dishonesty and crooks exist as much (more?) in the consumer world than in the regulator world. -B- |

Yeah, I don't get why people think that bitcoin will ever fail; it all started with 0$ value! I don't think it'll ever go to zero. It may get close, but never exactly 0. |

We can't say anything about if it will go 1000 or not Though i think it will go even higher given the exchange don't go down so much |

gov is fail, corrupt ... and, at the end, not guilty by the actual law.  the true is ... they don't help any people on earth. they destroy the work of all intelligentes persons. in the future, i don't be surprise to see a bitcoin governement system (vote and adopt law and decision with decentralised vote with blockchain). it's very easy to do, now. |
