Honestly I am not sure if bitcoin will be there forever as a global value exchange media despite my optimistic view. However, one thing I am very confident about is that bitcoin and blockchains have enlightened the creative minds of the new generation.
Now they know that value cycles can exist without coercive power and that notion itself is enough for creating a brand new order of future economy. With or without bitcoin.
That is the most powerful thing in the world and nobody can take it away.
100%. Bitcoin has played a big role in educating the public about money, fiat, and financial systems and their flaws.
