Thanks for the insightful comment. So long as people are educating themselves and approaching things with clear, open minds (rather than waiting for a consensus expert to emerge and advise them) I see great value emerging in assets that offer:

• legality
• privacy
• decentralization (no intermediaries, P2P)
• robust security technically AND economically (cannot be counterfeited, immutable/scarce)
• convenience/efficiency/user-friendliness (it has to be fast & Mom has to be comfortable using it)

Whatever the asset is, so long as it can check off these criteria it will be used in value exchange transactions small & large, mundane & exciting. While I think this will take quite some time to develop, if I had to only make one bet in all of the crypto space I would place my bet on privacy.
