In light of the new developments in technology, is it safe to assume that the sudden interests in immersive technologies is the boost needed to make Bitcoin and other virtual currencies the future of finance?
I don't think so, I don't see the connection between those two concepts, unless Bitcoin is absolutely needed to access or use immersive technologies, which is not very likely to happen.
And I can see a connection. Cryptocurrencies are safer, faster, cheaper to use than fiat money. 100% under your control and not vulnerable to holidays like banks. They don't have to be taken down for maintenance they are always able to assist you. The only things that you need are power and Internet connection.
In future people will want to be able to pay at any time of the day. They will not want to remember about taking the wallet with them every time they leave the house.
