We are evolving creatures. The old system is not working for us. We, the next wave of Human Consciousness, are slowly breaking down the old chains and replacing it with better systems.
The old system sucks! In that system, our lives have been pre-planned for us: Go to school for 16-20 years, then work for the rest of our lives. Sound familiar?
As the great Charles Bukowski would say:
Image may not load for some phones and tablets. Text: How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 8:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?
Though you may see a lot of people now just doing it for short term profit... Don't let that fool you! The people are ready for a new decentralized currency NOT controlled by the elites. Immune to inflation and deflation; something the masses can trust and not get affected by market crashes or bankers' greed.
It's just the phase that we're in. If you observe what's happening in the world right now, you would see the methodical breaking of the old system, and out of the ashes comes a new and super efficient system.
Just take a look at the "entrepreneurship wave" that has engulf the world the past decade. It's something that's never happened at the rate that it's in. Why? Because old system forced them to do it! They diligently obeyed the system; studied hard, graduated in deep debt, and realized the low paying job they got, can barely pay for anything! Plus, student loan creditors are calling every month. THEY GOT SCREWED.
TO HELL WITH THIS! THIS IS NOT LIVING, THIS IS JUST SURVIVING!
We've all been there. We've trusted the old system growing up. We all got screwed in one way or the other.
Hence, you see a common theme of "Internet millionaire college drop outs" out there. They didn't need school to create an innovation, they broke the controlling chains and revolutionized the world!
DISCLAIMER: Don't misinterpret me. I'm not saying Bitcoin or Ethereum will dominate the future, I'm saying "one" of them will.
Exhibit 1:
Lycos, Atlavista, Yahoo etc. We all knew Search Engines is the wave of the future; HUMANS ARE SEEKING TO SHARE AND GAIN KNOWLEDGE. But we're just not sure which one of them will dominate, until Google came along. But for what it's worth, Yahoo had a great billion dollar run for more than a decade. Perhaps it might be the same for Bitcoin and Ethereum; or new coin that has not been made yet.
Exhibit 2:
Friendster, Myspace and Facebook. Humans are social creatures, but lack the technology to easily socialize, especially at long distances. It's as easy as opening your phone when you wake up and socialize! Facebook perfected the technology and is rewarded for it.
Exhibit 3:
Youtube and Twitter are arguably the first major companies of their kinds (some small projects before them), and they have soared to the top on their own.
Final notes:
"True Cryptocurrency" is not susceptible to capitalistic buyouts. Friendster and Myspace were bought by bigger companies. But Cryptocurrencies, which essentially have no ownership, can't be a victim of corporate buyout. Which means, a certain coin will stay, unless it is abandoned by everybody. But it will always have a chance to rise up again because it is an evolving being. An example would be the current Bitcoin fork. Currently, Bitcoin is too slow that's why it will have an upgrade. Hence, it has a chance to evolve into greater heights!
A coin in general, will only fail if the devs abandon it. As long as people are continually working on it, it will remain competitive. And with the new wave of human consciousness longing for a currency NOT controlled by the elites, Cryptocurrency will rule the future.
