CMV that bitcoin is a flash in the pan and in 5 years we will all laugh at the people who used them.

I get the feeling that bitcoin has inherent issues that will eventually come to bite all those who deal with them in the ass. Namely I think there is going to be a major supply issue as the mining difficulty skyrockets. I think there is also going to be an issue with bitcoin black holes as people lose bitcoins from hard drive failures, criminal confiscation, corruption, etc. Finally, it is my opinion that its absolute anonymity will be its downfall. By bypassing the banking system, liquidity could be a real issue for businesses and individuals, as proving financial records would be even more difficult, not to mention there would be no 'pool' of bitcoin as there are dollars/euros/whatever in banks with which to make loans.

But mostly my thought is that it is a flash in the pan, and in 5 years they will hold almost no value as commercial enterprise turns away from bitcoin for more reliable currency.

I should note, this extends to nearly every form of crypto currency I've seen. I haven't found one that I think will last more than a few years.

>proving financial records would be even more difficult

This is thoroughly untrue. Every bitcoin transaction is very public; it's the most fundamental part of the protocol, really. It would be good for you to read up more on exactly how it works.
