Just looking at the wave of cryptocurrency and going with the rate of adoption, where do you all see the future of cryptocurrency in the next 20years or more from now. Are transactions going to be more of in cryptocurrency than fiat in all ramifications of society as it concerns finance?
I've been in crypto for 10 years and so far all the adoption i have seen is people buying and selling because the are speculating about the price and the potential of the tech. I am really not sure what people mean by adoption anymore, as most of the adopted tech is build for trading crypto assets. Only thing that has changed radically, is the regulations that have caught on, and pure pseudonymity is gone, probably for good. Scams are more frequent and money flow has grown exponentially. 10 years ago, no one of us thought this level in crypto total marketcap would be seriously possible, except for moonbois and crazy people that no one took seriously.
In 20 years, if major governments won't fall, there will probably be some sort of fusion of regulations and cryptos. But the main conundrum in crypto game theory, is that when it's regulated enough, it might make it too centralized, like it has already is on many levels. We are already highly dependant on centralized institutions, which have brought us more value, but what would also drop the value if those left.
And if we end up being too centralized, what's the point of cryptocurrencies anymore?
And those major governments would fall, depending how they fall, there's a big change it would take any value from cryptos with them. I am certain that this is not a popular way to think, especially in the verge of new ath, and i wouldn't stop buying because something might happen in 20 years.
