I think the tech will prove itself in the long run if it doesn't die beforehand.
It going to $5 per bitshare is not unfathomable. That's a 1000% increase from where it is now.

Thanks for correcting. My math is all over the place. I've spent too long staring at graphs and crunching numbers this week that my basics have fallen apart.
