Why Marc Andreessen is Long on Bitcoin and Short on Apple Pay

http://www.coindesk.com/marc-andreessen-long-bitcoin-short-apple-pay/

TL;DR: “I think it will be in the form of bitcoin, but, even if it’s not bitcoin, it will be something else."  Lol.

By "something else" he means something different from todays system, not something other than Bitcoin. Wink

No need to make fun...

Err, yes, he means something different, but not necessarily Bitcoin.  Here's the context (emphasis mine):
Quote
Rounding off the talk, Andreessen declared his confidence in the concept of cryptocurrency and the likelihood that it would become “vitally important”.

He concluded:

“I think it will be in the form of bitcoin, but, even if it’s not bitcoin, it will be something else. Even if it’s not this year, it will be five years or 10 years. It will happen, and it will be a very big deal. From that standpoint I both do care what happens in the short term, since we have to live in the short term, but I also have tremendous faith in what’s going to happen in the long run.”
