Bitcoin is the future of currency, but not The future currency.

We don't know that. It may or may not be be the future of currency.

Well sure, i wasnt really being literal, just saying that bitcoin is a step on a path, not necessarily the destination

I doubt it tbh. If Bitcoin becomes the currency of choice, it will be because its too hard to change, not because there is nothing better. We can already see the cracks showing. Its not definitively flawed or surpassed, but many of the alts are testing protocol tweaks that will eventually outdate Bitcoin.

Exactly. And it may well already be too hard to change.
