Just listening to Antonopolous - more and more I think we are a part of something absolutely legendary. Totally apart from bitcoin the currency, I believe bitcoin the protocol will revolutionize the global economy in ways we can't even yet imagine. The times they are a-changing.
just my 2 bits...

I'm gonna say no.
If within 10 years Bitcoin is the world's sole currency and has made thousands of new millionaires - my answer is still no.
That honor will probably go to something medical... I love the idea behind Bitcoin but come on - most of us are just greedy nerds. Medical science saves lives.

By the end of next month at the latest we will have permanently left behind 3 digits. You can quote me on this.

I think an universal 3D printer, capable to produce any stuff, will be the most important achievement and have greatest impact on human civilization. Bitcoin may be put on the second place.

Do you have any idea how many lives can be saved if Bitcoin can save us from financial debt slavery and oppression? Especially 3rd world countries could benefit greatly. You have no idea how much of our lives are being controlled and demolished by the tyranny of the ones on top of the current financial pyramid.

may be the most impressive bubble of our lifetimes, but technology... no. if it was so incredible, we'd already be doing more with it than just speculating and buying bed sheets online.

If bitcoin is able to effectively compete with national currencies to the point that the people wake up and dump fiat en masse, then we could be looking at the largest shift in power from government to individuals in history.
so if that happens, then yes.

Psst!! Wanna make bitcoin unstoppable? Why the Only Real Way to Buy Bitcoins Is on the Streets. Avoid banks and centralized exchanges. Buy/Sell coins locally. Meet other bitcoiners and develop your network. Try localbitcoins.com or find or start a buttonwood / satoshi square in your area. Pass it on!

You know, there were people who attended the World's Fair to see the lightbulb unveiled who were also alive to watch the Moon Landing on TV. There are people who watched the Moon Landing on TV who are alive today and aware of Bitcoin. And don't care. Just putting that into perspective. Have fun with your tin foil hat.

Upsetting the current status quo could have more far reachijg implications than making some greedy nerds happy. This is a disputive technology that does have the potential to make a huge positive impact.

In our lifetime? Why stop there... it's the most important thing in the history of world. Penicillin and electricity? Nah, Bitcoin! A lot of empirical researches have even found that there was no Big Bang, there was only bitcoin. Jokes aside, bitcoin is a nice step in the evolution of finance, but keep a cool head if you don't want to look like an Jehovah's Witness

This is like calling Microsoft Windows the most important tech achievement of our lifetimes. It played a role - a cobblestone in the road of progress, nothing more. To predict whether Bitcoin will beat a competitor 10 years out, or even 1 year out is impossible. It's not like rolling out a new engine that would take 40 years to completely replace current tech. Things move so quickly when it's purely code. Roll the dice if you're feeling lucky.

Anti-pirate laws will be irrelevant for this 3D printer. As it can print car, as well it can print RPG, SAM, missiles, jet fighters etc so forces of the ordinary people and pro-corporate govt will be balanced enough.
