Greetings, Steemit Network
I was calmly watching some bitcoin-related threads, when I stumbled upon a photo visualizing the sheer size of the combined crypto-currency market, compared to different money holdings.
We can really see how small a part of the global economy cryptocurrencies controle, and when I saw it at first, I started thinking of what I thought the future might hold?
Therefore, I started visualizing how I thought the future would look like.
I'd like to point out, that this is a very generalizing prediction, based on the current growth the crypto-market is expiring, and companies, governments and so forth are picking them up as well.
The upper visualization showcases the current state and size of the market, whilst the lower half showcases my prediction for 2025.
My predictions, of a 15t Marketcap is also based around all these new ICO's, and new companies with the main focus to expand crypto currencies to the general population.
I'd like to hear what your predictions are, and what differences you would make in your predictions?
I can appreciate the prediction for growth on cryptocurrencies by 2025. I think whether we have a complete financial reset by then or not, the cryptos will grow. Kinda hard to put that back in the bag especially with the need for the tech and the growth going on in the public and private industries. The use cases are endless.
As for the Gold market, with more and more info coming out into the public eye about all the manipulation and illegal activity (among everything else going on currently in that markets out in the East), we are fast approaching a huge change in Gold; I believe. I would at least double your estimate in 2025.
I wonder whether we will still be in a debt based system, figure out a new digital worldwide system or end up trading sea shells. Either way, I absolutely believe big change is just around the corner. New era coming. All of these numbers may be irrelevant.
Take care, Hope for the best , plan for the worst.
I totally agree, and most likely, the next "era" of cryptocurrencies will be when governments try to regulate, and maintain the power of money through banks. However, I think the cryptocurrencies will win the battle, taken all the companies to consideration, that are trying to implement, or build their businesses around Crypto.
Of cause, the exit-strategy is crucial for every investor at the moment, because virtually every government is against this development for now, so we'll just have to wait and see.
