If people don't take Bitcoin seriously... they will lose out. In my opinion it's just simply better money. The counter-party risks are smaller... and you don't have to worry about being a hedge fund manager/Bloomberg reader/financial person in order to save.

In addition, with the friction of money and energy the internet is just... better. It's a better internet and no-one needs the counter-party risk of Uncle-Sam.

I believe the regulators and the deniers may be able to 'slow it down', like slowing down the horse and buggy to the automobile... but they cannot stop it.

The incentives are just too great.
