With reference to a number of great posts above, with bitcoin it would also take half the time to develop faster than light speed travel technologies, as compared to the present scheme with middlemen leaching a few percent from every other transaction.
Neal Stephenson introduced an interesting idea of 'phyles' in his book Diamond Age:

These are effectively economic tribes.
I could see 'bitcoin users' becoming a phyle.
Say I go on a trip to New Zealand for 3 months and rent my accommodation from a 'bitcoiner'. Then I hire a car off another 'bitcoiner'.
Effectively we have all joined one international like minded phyle. There is money changing hands, but no pounds, euros or dollars.

commoditization of (international) money transfers
Basically, markets will be freer (much government meddling becomes impossible), resulting in greater economic growth, innovation, technology, quality of life, etc.
First and foremost, it allows frictionless transactions. It cuts out a number of middlemen by making them redundant - thus the transaction is more efficient. This means the wealth of mankind grows faster.
It needs a lot of imaginations to look forward into the future when it comes to such a revolutionary innovation as bitcoin.
