Next, bitcoin becomes a lifeboat that saves those who prepared from currency crises. Expect it to be priced accordingly. It's much cheaper to buy insurance *before* the disaster.
In its final phase, bitcoin becomes "boring": just money, and a permanent feature of the (new, eventually much improved) world.
