Like tech stocks in 1999? 2007 subprime mortgages?
> It's going to be the new gold
You mean my dentist can fill my teeth with it, I can give it as a shiny necklace to my girlfriend, I can use it as a conductor for my stereo? You mean it's actually something I can use?
Gold is valuable, because
a) There's a fixed supply.
b) The material itself is proof that you actually posses it.
c) It's durable and easily quantifiable.
It's a store of value, that cannot be overruled, either you have it or not, that simple. There is nothing quite like it, and that's why governments are hoarding gold reserve in underground basements.
Bitcoin takes this concept even further and ensures that your coins cannot be forcefully taken from you (given you store them right ofc). They are essentially just a piece of information, and that is enough to universally validate your ownership, without a doubt.
There is immense value in the technology, I'm sure its here to stay. Again, maybe not the current iteration, but whatever Bitcoin evolution we end up with, it will very likely come out of this blockchain.
But we will see. Maybe it IS gonna die tomorrow after all.
Whatever the future of bitcoin itself and whoever he is, "Satoshi Nakamoto" will go down in history as a great inventor.
