A research analyst at the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) sees cryptocurrency, blockchain technology and decentralization as a potential $10 trillion ecosystem. https://www.coindesk.com/crypto-blockchain-create-10-trillion-market-rbc-analyst-says/
As years will pass, this whole industry can even be bigger as the blockchain technology can be applicable in so many industries and what we are seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. There would be more and more applications to be available soon taking advantage of the cryptocurrency trend and the immense market which is currently being created. The future generation will be grateful for Satoshi Nakamoto, the early supporters as well as the adopters and enthusiasts who made the critical mass pushing this innovation into the mainstream population. Just like any new technology, we should be expecting birth pains and many negative critics all dismissing the said thing all because they don't fully (or maybe refuse to) understand what this technology can be bringing to humanity. Beyond Bitcoin, this new technology can be the underlying and overarching platform in which many industries would be operating years and decades from now. Changes brought on by this innovative platform can be seen soon and can be felt by all of us not just in the cyber-world but in everyday lives.
