  > will we finally see a real dramatic crash, or will it just fade away? Aside from global prohibition there's not much that would destroy the value that's created by this novel tool. Even then it would still have some residual value.

    I think that a global carbon emissons tax would do the trick.

      It would just make the giant mining farms in China powered by hydro-electric generators that much more profitable.

    Well if all people decide to cash out, it will destroy the value.

  > these news sent the bitcoin charts below the magical $10000 Nah, I believe the "crash" is rather due to the Tether stuff and that one exchange that got hacked... and because there are people who have decided that they don't want to wait any longer to materialize their profits in dollars in the aftermath.

  "these news" didn't do anything. It was due to tether and South Korea.

  It will just fade out. We're already seeing companies that used to accept Bitcoin payments quietly dropping support. The "price" will stay high, but Bitcoins will circulate among fewer and fewer people; most people who hold some will forget about them and lose them rather than selling them. Look at what happens to collectibles, or land in Second Life.
