I hope it will be the democratic revolt of the world economy and the decentralized currency of the web.

But let's be realistic here—it's probably going to settle somewhere on a middle ground between gold and fiat as a store of value. So it's probably going to grow and become mainstream, but it's unlikely to become the revolutionary currency we purport it to be. I guess its hard to guess where things are going to go when you make something completely unheard of (like bitcoin in 2009), so we can't blame Nakamoto for lacking the foresight to see where bitcoin is headed in 2017. I hope future cryptocurrency creators will actually make the dream of this revolutionary currency come true.
