This is Bitcoin's future in an image

[dacoinminster]

I think the OP picture is right if you look at the next 10-20 years, but short-term, I think the TradeHill logo is a better picture for what is coming up.

I've argued continually on this forum that bitcoins are massively undervalued for what they can potentially do in the future. Once that potential starts to be realized, I will an annoying braggart and pretty much intolerable to be around (even more so than now).

Seriously. Bitcoin price increases are just getting started: http://bitcointalk.org/?topic=7985.0

20 years prognosis timespan is huuuuugeeeeeeee.

Typical strategic span for a modern company is around 5 years, I'm being told. Even smaller in IT and biomed.

Distributed currency isn't a company, it is a technological breakthrough. Talking about "the future of bitcoin" now is like talking about "the future of the internet" in 1995. The impact of bitcoin will be of a similar scale over the next 20 years, and we only have hints of what that will look like now. I was too young to buy a "piece of the internet" in 1995, and it wasn't clear which companies were going to last even if I had wanted to.

There's a similar situation now, and anybody who can see it coming would be foolish not to act on that knowledge to the best of their ability.
