Five (controversial) crypto predictions for five years from now:

1. The prevailing crypto narrative will slowly shift to ‘The Internet of Value’
Centralization and lack of privacy are not pain points
Intermediaries sucking value out of peer to peer transactions is.
Pocketbooks, not ideologies, win hearts and minds.

2. Bitcoin is more durable than most can imagine
BTC was the first time people agreed on a digital store or value. Being backed only by consensus is an advantage, not a problem.
We don’t need DeFi on BTC.
The narrative is worth more than TVL/smart contracts.

3. NFTs haven’t yet found product-market-fit
PFP projects will look Neolithic in comparison to the use cases that are eventually locked with NFTs.
JPEGs will largely be forgotten as the rules to digital property rights are rewritten.

4. Crypto will go mainstream via CeDeFi
Crypto rails will be obfuscated and centralized (Celsius is a good example) to make using them less technical and more mainstream.
No one self-custodies stocks. A centralized, insured service brings peace of mind to a lot of people.

5. There will be no geographic center for crypto
All you need is a laptop and an internet connection.
In an anon, 24/7 industry, digital spaces have advantages over physical ones.
Crypto, for practical reasons, will end up being location-ambivalent.
