The potential is there and the success of the crypto space up till now is a great show of that. Big banks and government will try to prevent this and take over at some point when they realize they have missed the boat and lost control. What we need is more people to stop asking “so how is that there Bitcoin doing?” and start asking instead “how can I get involved in that there Bitcoin?” Or whatever coin. Once there are enough people who adopt this new way of doing things then the harder it will be for government to interfere.
I do believe that it is here for now, too much big money is starting to enter the area, like circle, and darn EOS has like 5 billion in capital. People with that money are usually pretty cautious or right.
