I see crypto taking on a much smaller role than some people are imagining. Basically as a back end infrastructure, through many different decentralized networks that aren't connected.
These coins change in value every minute, sometimes wildly. No bank is ever going to rely on that. |

Agreed on the ultimate use case, but its value as far as data generation and verification and cost elimination (including jobs!) will be treee-mendous. |

Date: January 24th, 2018 12:56 AM Author: indigo floppy boltzmann I think we're still ~5 years out from still knowing WTF to really do with this stuff. Once the 3rd gen (sharded) networks come online I think you'll start seeing some much kookier use cases, beyond cryptokitties, "a token that stores [insert information here--attention, uptime, reputation for tasks completed, etc.] about you and is also currency", and "paypal but crypto". I think it will take quite a while for these to mature though--developing a highly performant, *secure* massively distributed system is one of the most daunting things you can do in all of computer science. Plus at some point when the first truly mainstream tech comes out on 3rd gen blockchains there will likely be some major hack as a big setback.
That said, it's clear they have one iron clad use case: a bank-free store of value which is easily moved around. Given this, I think at least one guaranteed success is some form of privacycoin; remember that the original BTC frenzy was set off because people *actually started using it* to buy stuff off Silk Road. |
