Bitcoin will still probably go up yes, but that doesn't mean we can't build something better. As @lordbutterfly said, Steem at $100 is a rival to Facebook, it's beyond what Bitcoin can do, it unites people in a real way, while Bitcoin can't even give you interest.
Bitcoin is so decentralized that nobody with Bitcoin has an incentive to spend their Bitcoin to on-board a new user, centralized exchanges with fees has margin to put people on their platforms. In the long term have no real on-board will become problematic for BTC because teams with marketing budgets will create superior systems.
Just have holding when you can have stake + earn interest, clearly the latter is better. EOS can use that money to build a business and pay for advertising. They can run experiments, they can innovate faster, be more street smart. It's very complex even to this day to get access to Bitcoin, while something like Steem will be easier for the average person to start love more than BTC, because they have access to it.
We will have machines that thinks a million times better than a Human Being, clearly we will invent systems way smarter than what currently exist
