In the next few years, all BTC will ever be is what it is now. It's so before its time. Great tech but so many people are buying the coin and not actually using it for any utility, and that's problematic from an investor standpoint.
I wouldn't bet on it. What is so great about crypto? The only thing that was great was the ability to buy it anonymously and spend it anonymously. That is already on the way out and hampered substantially. What other upside there is? If you'll say smart contracts, that is a solution to a problem that was already solved or does not require a currency. Why would decentralised immutable data storage require a currency?
Some keep thinking governments and central banks will give up control of the money, the interest rates... The small and inconsequential ones might and many already did. But why would super powers do that? They'll sooner burn the whole world into the ground than let that happen. And if by some miracle you beat them all, the whales will get together in the aftermath and divide the world once again. The anarcho-crypto utopia is just that - utopia. World is getting less free, not more, all while crypto bulls are dreaming about imaginary crypto heavens, always buying, never selling. Celebrating the upcoming destruction of USD, not realizing that if the old fiats die violently (and it will die violently), average folks will start such a panic, the whole monetary system will collapse, including crypto. You might have had a chance, if the transition was very gradual, stable, met with high approval from all sides. Look out the window, the world is going to shit and crypto is just another false prophet. Buy low, sell high, take out some profits, HODL the rest but don't lie to yourself that it will transform the world for the better, it wont.
You know what tech would actually be ahead of its time. A "money-less" society like in this movie:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1637688/ Or I should say, that is a fictional society where "money" actually has value (life itself), because our money doesn't. But technology has value, resources have value, production capability has value and our time on Earth has the greatest value of all resources. I can totally see time becoming a currency, just like in this funny Timberlake movie.
