Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales stated that Bitcoin's design is robust and will not go to zero, but it may drop to a price only suitable for enthusiasts. He recommends a price target below $10,000 by 2050, or even lower, as it has failed as a currency or a store of value.

ChainCatcher news, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales posted on social media stating, "Those who believe Bitcoin will go to zero are likely mistaken. Its design is robust enough that, unless an unforeseen cryptographic collapse or an unexpected 51% attack occurs, it will continue to exist (even if these happen, I believe it can persist through forks).

However, Bitcoin might fall to a price level only suitable for enthusiasts to play with. Since it has completely failed as a currency or store of value, it cannot become the dominant currency in the future. Therefore, I suggest setting a price target for 2050 below $10,000 in present value terms, and it could be far below that level."
