I see failure. Not now, but eventually.

Broke, I must disagree with you here. As I've said elsewhere, bitcoin does fulfill a very particular need for semi-wealthy people who live in countries with questionable financial institutions, and also for those who wish to engage in transactions defined as criminal by various authorities.

I'm not defending the practices of either crowd, just pointing out that the market demand is there for reasons that I don't see going away.
