My conclusion - everybody will undoubtedly be a participant of this technology. It's only a matter of time. The Blockchain will certainly become the inevitable reality of daily human life, as it happened with the Internet, and who knows, maybe the point of no return has already come.
I feel like the blockchain itself still has very specific use cases, and cannot be compared to the internet which encompasses pretty much everything these days. At the end of the day, not everyone needs their databases to be decentralized (corporations are developing
permissioned blockchains, for one), and regular databases could already be distributed. It's revolutionary because it's able to self-verify, which could save a lot of resources for plenty of business processes. It's revolutionary, but not
that revolutionary.
That being said, it's entirely possible that we haven't even scratched the surface of the blockchain's potential, so I could be very wrong.
