Kaspersky says he believes that digital currencies will eventually overtake paper money in the future. However, he thinks that will require a new world order, where theres a single government instead of the many different nation-states that we have today.
Cryptocurrencies are a great idea, but the world is not ready for them yet. The world must be united if we want to have encrypted currencies. At the moment, governments will want to control them.

First world countries are concerned into making their lives a easier by implementing/developing technology which makes everything convenient and fast while third world countries are focused into alleviating poverty, eradicating corruption, development of infrastructures, etc.
Although it may seem impossible, it can happen in the future once we slowly adapt to this kind of system. From that aspect alone, cryptocurrencies would be the main medium once this change would be implemented.
100 years?Really?
This guy had never heard of technology acceleration or quantum computing.After 100 years the world will be way too different and perhaps all currencies will dissapear.Bitcoin might not exist ot it might change into something completely different.The world wasn't ready for computers,smartphones,internet and all the other innovations,but they were adopted eventually.
Computers, smartphones, and the internet were slowly adapted into countries that have access to them but we are talking about a whole-world scale of shifting to this kind of transaction. Some underdeveloped countries do not have access to such as poverty is their main problem. 100 years may be far-fetched but who really knows?
