In the next years, we will see a crazy evolution in the hardware and software, All will be different, the cryptography will change, the mining will move to quantum mining, and that will be resumed in fast blockchains, just think about bitcoin but with blocks each second, that will be a crazy evolution for the cryptos.

I agree. But when quantum computing goes mainstream in the future, wont this pose a threat to the current security behind crypto?  

But thanks all for your interesting point of view and links. Ill be checking them out!  

One thing that worries me about the blockchain is how it will be used by governments to track transactions and tax people. We are already seeing this in the US, where the IRS is investing billions of dollars to track profits. The ledger allows them to go back to any time in the past and go after people for any reason they choose. I see this as a vulnerability of the system. I hope someone will come up with a digital currency that doesnt rely on a blockchain and can act more as a p2p transaction. But I know this might be impossible to solve without running into the double spending issue.
