I have faith that additional cryptocurrencies will be launched/released
   that are substantially better and different from bitcoin. Bitcoin is
   just the beginnning, and ultimately I don't think it will make more
   than a few years farther before there is an unquestioned replacement.

     If bitcoin becomes worth 100 trillion dollars, they've got a solid

     billion for being nobody and doing nothing. That's a problem to me.

     Five hundred billion for freeing the world financial system from US
     domination without bloodshed. Sounds mighty cheap to me.
     I am, however worried that bitcoin can be dominated by a small
     group. As the total transaction volume increases, the number of
     people that are full and equal participants in recording and
     facilitating transactions must diminish.
     This was my original objection, scaling failure, way back in the
     beginning, and it is now coming true.
     But even if my worst fears are realized, that is still a whole lot
     better than what we have now.
