past, present and future have differences but in terms of upside potential is the most obvious thing i see for bitcoin i think people will be able to completely trust with idle assets to invest with bitcoin and over long enough the amount of money earned is really substantial. More and more people are looking to bitcoin as well as crypto for the sake of profit rather than for issues like money transfer, technology, asset guarantee, etc. I'm not sure how the future will change but I believes in the potential for value that bitcoin will increase over time.
