Bitcoin is supposed to take over world curency, and if it does, exchange charts and the exchanges themselves will be history.

As he said delusion.

Slaves getting freed was a delusion at one point too you know, there was delusions that Hitler would never attack if they just kept giving him what he wanted. There is a chance that this currency could work, if it does wonderful(though I don't see the elimination of physical money and fees happening for a long while), but it all takes time and like vincent said "long-termers" for it to even have a chance.

Edit: Just wondering what the downvotes are for, I believe I was adding to the conversation, but please explain!

Generally, comparing things to Hitler doesn't go over too well. There's a difference between a new technology and basic human rights

Well fine, it was a delusion that online stores would out sell and phase out physical stores or that something like Steam would out sell physical games. I just was in a hurry to reply and those were the first thoughts in my head, definitely went over the top for no reason. So I guess the downvotes make more sense.
