Doubtful, still mostly a hammer looking for nails and when the prices come back, so will the scum. There are core issues that do not jive with societal expectations and norms. This gives time for others, outside of crypto, to adopt the good parts of Blockchain experiments without the crypto part. This is what I am hopeful for
Despite what people might tell you the only market for crypto is "vibes". You can tell the bad bones of the market since a single idea (Bitcoin) got renamed "crypto" -- a word short for cryptography which has nothing to do with these currency systems.<p>I'm not sold on cash being in our longterm future, but I can tell you the blockchain backed free from corporate overlords is also not in the tea leaves. If you're defending crypto today and hoping for a resurgence you are definitely not going to like the resulting success if it ever does come. It will be part of a corporate hellscape or a tool backed against some sick merit system -- who knows.<p>Money systems cannot be improved to help people. They are only useful to the people in power.
