Sometime in the future, people will stop belittling crypto currencies when they realize that the digitization concepts of traditional finance technology providers are inferior to those of crypto currencies and blockchains. Putting safety and security first for anything that handles money makes sense.

The calls for "you don't need a blockchain, just use a database" will become less and less.

Edit: Of course, Hacker News hates this comment.

Yes and we'll be screaming "please shut off your computer" because of all of the excess heat and insane power bills.
