Read the white paper of the Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange.  Ignore the bit about the GBX and focus on the plans for the Gibraltar Stock Exchange (GSE) to list fully regulated securities on the blockchain. That’s where the real action is.

Well, maybe (a big maybe) in 10 years as you say. I doubt it is even a possibility sooner. I wish I am wrong, as that would probably make me more than "rich enough".... But I just can't see it.

The SEC will be involved and will bless it. It will all be fully legit. 

Problem is that even if they wanted to meant those tokens to be shares that would make the SEC involved. So, currently, ALL those are just useless tokens with no representation of ownership (of the ICO'ed project).

Why would you help the bankers by promoting a designed to centralize, non-fungible, permissioned ledger, cashless society slave system?  The only thing the bankers are scared of is people using physical metals as money.
They're obviously not scared of cryptocurrency whatsoever when evil Jews like Ben Bernanke and Larry Summers promote it.  They want to ban cash and put everyone into a digital prison...and you're helping them do it!  Fuck off to all the little bugmen that support non-fungible, permissioned ledger digital prison over the actual banker cryptonite - physical silver.

There's your future by worshipping fake digital money over constitutional silver:

Yes.

The legislation to support the changes is coming. It will start in the smaller, more agile countries and spread into places like the US.

The NYSE will be on a public blockchain, hopefully Bitcoin, within 10 years.

Probably that last one. Been a profitable venture for me, even if it ended today.

The latter would depend on the overall situation for me. I'm not going to stop investing at any point in my life, so the only way I'd stop being involved with cryptocorns would be if they disappeared or collectively turned into BCash.

Same. Or I'd just sell everything and consider the grand experiment a complete failure.

in some earlier posts on this thread about the number of cases where the father is not the biological father of the child there were extraordinary numbers quoted.

It is around 1.8% in new Zealand and likely to be close to that in many countries -  amuch lower percenatge than other quoted but still a fairly large number when you count them in groups eg children currently 0-15.

Under some circumstances fathers who find out are entitled to refunds of child support/custody payments.

I'd personally go with any other altcorn before I'd pick up BCash if BTC magically disappeared over night.

Satoshi also envisioned that miners would attack the contentious fork with the shortest chain and least PoW and kill it off. But that didn't happen. Because he didn't anticipate that mega miners would contentiously fork and collude to keep said fork alive (along side the main chain), and for selfish or malicious reasons. And then brokers and exchanges decide to help keep it alive as well.

Once this happened, all of the dogma of Satoshi's vision in his whitepaper got nullified. All bets are off, Katie bar the door, the end users now have the power to decide what is Bitcoin. Mega miners have fucked themselves as potential bad actors in the system. Brokers and exchanges have also now made themselves suspect.

Legislation follows. If there's an economic incentive for using a blockchain it will be used, and legislation will follow along.

Do you mean all the ICO's and erc20 stuff from basically 2017?

I guess the point is what the company involved says, supported by the law. If the law supports a blockchain shareholders register, then the Blockchain rules, also in court. Frankly, I do not see why this simple flat ledger technology will not blow regular exchanges out of the water over time (especially when Digital ID has been sorted out to the satisfaction of authorities).

This is inevitably going to happen in one form or another and it's why I'm pretty much a perma bull from a strictly financial perspective. Believing in it (decentralization of power) as a good cause is one thing and that's what got me interested initially. But I wouldn't be going nearly all in if I didn't believe in a very high probability of disruption in the financial markets, and I only keep what I need to sustain myself for the next 5-10 years in fiat.
I just can not see equities not moving into the crypto space within the next decade or two. Traditional brokerages are expensive, inefficient, and annoying.

And then there's venture capital, which the average pleb never had access to before Bitcorn. Kickstarter et. al. were one attempt to change up the VC scene, but they were a massive failure (from a zoomed-out perspective, I'm sure the founders are quite happy). The next wave of crowd-finance had insane fees to the website. And now ICOs cut the middle man out entirely.
So as the market matures and we start seeing some better screening and perhaps escrowed funds that get released in batches based on certain conditions (perhaps via smart contracts) we're bound to not only see an increase in financially literate people, but also an increase in businesses.
Paired with all the other stuff that is going on and coming up in the coming years we're bound to see quite a clusterfuck of interesting things springing up everywhere in a fashion that would put the last decades to shame (if one ignored the fact that they were necessary to get here in the first place).

That being said, I think there's enough space for multiple corns in the field, so I don't consider ETH or other chains as a threat, but rather as a healthy driving force of technological progress and mass adoption. At least I can't deny that the hopes of "getting rich quick by buying the next Bitcorn" didn't contribute to the increase in recent interest, and will do so in the future. Gotta be thankful for everybody who gets hooked on Bitcorn, regardless of how they got into it.

But that needs to be authorized/recognized on a higher state/legal level. Otherwise public property registers are the only valid reference, no matter what ANY "blockchain" says.

companies will make their own coin and shares will be tied to this

I donno, a lot of legislation would need to change for that happen. Maybe I could envision one blockchain controlled by notaries where they would register property transfers... but not a P2P real estate blockchain with no authrorized third party involvement needed.
