prediction 6: the development of protocols like mastercoin (timestamped tokens for property ownership) and namecoin (secure decentralized DNS replacement) will add lots of value to the underlying bitcoin protocol.


I like that a lot - it kind of bothers when people talk about what Bitcoin IS, like a recent TechCrunch article explaining how the writer lost faith in it as a money transfer protocol. Just because BTC is really valuable right now, doesn't mean it will always act the way it acts now. It's just getting started.
