Even back in 95' I don't think it really took a genius to see where the state of things were headed. No one really doubts or doubted, that at some point currency will become fully digitized and will be integrated within all possible means. We've already started this trend long before bitcoins were even conceptualized. Notice how many people purchase items with debit or credit cards these days, without even handling the money physically? But if it's going to be 5, 10, 50, 100, 1000 years from now is harder to say. What replaces the traditional greenback currency is anyones guess, but it will happen at some point in time.


Also, I think crypto-anarchists very much under-estimated the nature of government in it's role in regulation.
