"I'd happily take the other side of that bet"

Me too. In fact, I would probably offer some pretty good odds against bitcoin replacing the dollar.

"I think it's a longshot that BTC even survives 5 more years."

I am pretty sure Bitcoin will last more than 5 years. It just won't be meaningful.

As Mungofitch like to point out, there are still some Bennie Babies that trade on eBay for large sums of money. It is just that it is a small niche of buyers and sellers that trade them to each other. That will be Bitcoin in a few years.
