I say it's going to be replaced by a new cyber-currency.

Yeah.. I can see it now.. Whoopie Goldberg is appointed the head of Cybercurrency Reserve Board, where she prints out, or buys back a resurrected "Flooz" currency.

We've already seen cyber-currencies come and go due to fraud and the inability to profit. Flooz, Beenz, and eCash... All are history

And as was aptly stated in one of those articles, you don't need cybercurrency, when you have credit cards. After all, exactly how often do most people pay for goods and services with cash anyway?? Our currency might as well be cybercurrency, for as much as we actually physically possess it. For the most part, it only exists as a credit/debit on some computer account anyway.

You can't get much more "cyber" than that...
