Forever? No, of course not.

But paper currency is backed by a nation state, so I'm betting it'll be around a bit longer then a purely digital speculative asset without the backing of a nation, and driven entirely by speculation.

I'm not even anti-crypto. It was novel idea when it was actually used entirely as a currency, but that hasn't been true for quite some time.
