I am very excited about this innovative technology and opportunity as well, even if Bitcoin itself plummets, Blockchain itself has really changed the world, because, the current pace and trajectory we're heading with our technology, transparency will most likely end up being a normal occurrence in everyday society. The fact that you can remain pseudo-anonymous, yet still have transactions on the chain public, really disrupts the current financial tech industry.
  In a way, the blockchain kind of forces many industry hands to adopt this new innovation, as the old style of bookkeeping becomes more and more obsolete, eventually doomed to fall by the wayside.
  Whenever there is a new innovation, you can be sure there are those who might see it used for criminal purposes, naturally this comes with the territory  . Overall, the future looks pretty bright for Blockchain tech, but I really can't say what the future holds for Bitcoin. 

Just my two cents!
