“At a more fundamental level, we should wonder why Bitcoin exists at all. There is no reason. We can already trade almost anything that is legal over the internet and pay for it in various ways. It’s fast, convenient, inexpensive and quite safe.”
“We can predict the collapse of the value of Bitcoin, even when it may rise for a littlewhile longer. The introduction of exchange-traded futures may signal the start of thisprocess.

And therefore, it will survive. Bitcoin as a digital “currency”, won’t.
