What will happen with Blockchain technology in the next 50 years?
In a perfect world, in 50 years the blockchain technology (and Bitcoin) will replaced fiat money around the world (sounds more like an utopia, tbh)
unfortunately, the govt, central backs, financial companies, multinationals, etc, i don't think they're going to let a decentralized and unregulated system replace their fiat ponzi, they need to keep their profits going, otherwise, heads are gonna roll.
But 50 years is a long time, and realistically, maybe this technology won't replace fiat at all, but i'm 100% sure that blockchain technology will be adopted worldwide and Bitcoin will become a payment option for pretty much everything. But of course, the elite will put regulations and taxes on cryptocurrencies so they can profit from them.
It is funny that governments are going to do everything to avoid bitcoin or other decentralized currencies to succeed when that will help the population of their countries, a currency that has so low inflation and that keeps reevaluating will be better for the world, but they have abandoned their functions long time ago and the only thing they care is about themselves and to maintain their positions of power.
