I predict btc prices rising so high that transactions suffer and noone wants to spend only hodl... Thus breaking rules of currency. At that point a proper eystem will begin to take hold and take over the next few years. my first concern over bitcoin is there is no inflationary concept and it will be its last.
I alao did predict that the only coins standing will be mm based coins and seems that ppl finally see the light.

The cynic in me would consider whether all the trolling you are doing here is for the benefit of the Blockstream investment pool to get some low-cost Due Diligence work out of us. The sort of analysis you are getting from some of the folks here is pure gold. And my advice to Blockstream investors is to shut the company down now while you still have a chance and buy $21M worth of bitcoin right now while we're at a long term bottom. The reason? There's no way in hell any bitcoin company will ever be able to outperform the BTC currency.

Inflation punishes savers over spenders and enriches the issuing authority unjustly. Some people think it is better for growth. History shows stable money and low tax is the best formula for growth. Bitcoin is inflationary in terms of monetary base, not deflationary as new Bitcoin are issued with each block. People consider it deflationary because its relative value tends to rise (especially when it isn't falling) and because of the asymptotic cap of 21M but Bitcoin that haven't been issued can't really be considered until they are spendable. Bitcoin is above 4% inflation for the next few years yet as shown:

Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.

Why is it assumed we need to implement fully decentralized smart platforms in the Bitcoin system?
Because Bitcoin is the one & only trusted ledger. If it isn't built within Bitcoin then you sacrifice trust. Blockstream said it best : Can't be evil Bitcoin & friends don't operate on trust, they use proof of work. Have you even read the whitepaper? And Bitcoin is far from being "the one & only trusted ledger." Litecoin, Peercoin, and Primecoin have been doing very well for a couple of years, TYVM. Why would you only trust only one form of proof of work? If a SHA256 or ECDSA exploit is found, BTC goes to zero. Platforms are value neutral. TCP/IP is being used for evil as MS/Google/Apple/Facebook aid and abet the creation of databases that would make Stalin and Honecker blush with embarrassment and shame.

If both SHA256 and ECDSA are cracked then you still can't crack cold wallets with no outbound transactions. 2. If one would crack Bitcoin they would be stupid to drive the price to zero. You don't kill the goose that lays golden eggs. 3. Who says Bitcoin can't change it's proof of work algorithm?

BTC is destroying the traditional central/statist banking model and poised to begin the same process of disintermediation for stock exchanges. Central banking and financial markets are two geese which lay very large golden eggs for some very powerful status quo powers that be. They have an overwhelming interest in killing BTC before it kills their ability to collect rent. If you are long Litecoin or otherwise short BTC, driving the price to zero would make you a fortune. If BTC changes its PoW algorithm, it's not longer BTC because the ASIC-based infrastructure currently securing its blockchain would be useless.
