I wonder how bitcoin will look in the aftermath of other technological novelties. Usually, these things start off as a niche novelty of an insular crowd, then savy people take part, then it goes mainstream and the influx of traffic forces regulation and more overhead due to demand. The drivers of the technology leave, then there's a slow burnout time where people try to maintain the appearence that the tech isn't dying.
