At this point there is nothing to me that would suggest that it should. Obviously over time the idea of a true international currency would be beneficial. But something like bitcoin that was created by a random individual with no government support, no inherent or scarce value shouldn't be able to hold value.

To me it is irrational to put money behind bitcoin, it's a bubble like the Dutch Tulip Mania from the 1600's. No reason for it, and it won't last.
