What will actually happen remains to be seen... in some ways, cryptos are a bit like the web, itself... older versions become obsolete as they are replaced with new iterations based on the same principles.

The post was mostly intended as a bit of a mental exercise in perspective... our current "bubble" (if there IS one) is tiny compared to the overall capital market. Whether the breakout to the next level of cryptocurrencies comes on the back of BTC, or Steem... or some coin yet to be invented... it seems pretty clear that there's a LOT of growing room.
