> FWIW, I still think cryptocurrencies will outlast all existing government-backed fiat currencies. The difference is that I don’t think it’s going to happen on any predictable timeframe.

Nothing about this prediction gives Bitcoin any value. If you/early buyers hoard it all, that means starting a new chain is less effort than buying it from you. There isn’t scarcity here, let alone use value.

(Read “blockchain” as “Google Docs spreadsheet” and “Bitcoin wallet” as “spreadsheet cell”.)
