Bitcoin is going to ZERO in the next few years. It is a hobbyist designed coin that has some fatal flaws and will be replaced by central bank coins designed from the ground up to scale out to the extent required. The first auto companies did not go to become the ones that scaled out nation wide like Ford. This is the same scenario. Bitcoin = dodo bird.
