I've been wondering recently what's ahead for us in terms of the evolution of digital currencies.
There has been a lot of amazing development with blockchain and cryptocurrencies in general in the past decade. But I wonder if there's anyone working on other ideas or technologies that could also be promising. I'm not talking about altcoins. I mean real breakthrough ideas, similar to what happened when Bitcoin was originally introduced. It would be really exciting to witness the birth of something completely new in the next years/decades. I'm sure we have other brilliant "Satoshis" out there.
I'd love to learn more about cool projects and concepts that could be the evolution of blockchain (again,
not altcoins please

)
The only thing I can think of is Quantum Computing. This new breakthrough in the world of computing could greatly improve the performance of existing blockchain networks. But I think we're decades away from seeing this becoming a reality anytime soon. Other promising tech seems to be DAGs (Directed Acrylic Graphs) which aim to make crypto faster and cheaper than ever. Bitcoin won't likely change to a DAG anytime soon (especially when there are a lot of security issues tied to DAGs), but at least we have an alternative to existing blockchain tech (with improvements, DAGs could replace blockchains in the future).
I'd say it's a wild guess to tell exactly what breakthrough innovation will radically change Bitcoin for the better. The future is not set in stone, so developers have plenty of time to come up with fresh and new ideas. All I care about is decentralization and censorship-resistance. As long as Bitcoin stays decentralized, nothing else matters. Just my opinion
