Put your money where your mouth is.  Tongue
Is that for me?  

My mouth says that bitcoin may crash to zero without warning; and, while it is fun playing the prophet, there is no way to assign probabilities to any predictions, not even to "it will crash to zero tomorrow" or "one day it will be worth more than 1000 US$".

So my money is indeed where my mouth is -- well away from bitcoin...
For Bitcoin to crash to zero a fundamental flaw in the code would have to be found or SHA-2 broken. For the later there are backup coins with Scrypt or SHA-3. Only other way, if confirmed over-unity is archived, which would make Gold worthless too.
All are extremely unlikely.

Edit; It may crash to zero in a few hundred years time Wink
