1. I do not think that the crypto era has started as only a handful of countries and their citizens are in the cryptocurrencies. It will take another 10 years time for the crypto era to start and grow.
2. Yes, it is the future and the way things are changing in the present helps the crypto adoption in the future.
3. I cannot envision the future but I can say we will see a gradual increase in crypto adoption and lot more companies will be venturing into the crypto sphere for their own benefits.
I have to disagree with you about we not been in the crypto era yet I think we are in the era but only at the early stages of it. It doesn’t have to get a global recognition or been used by everyone before it can be called its era. I believe at least one out of 10 people either use, own or know about bitcoin currently and that’s how it is called the era. After the coronavirus pandemic which exploded the use of bitcoin I think we grew right into the era that time.
As for the future, just like the way the internet world is evolving that is how bitcoin will be. It is a thing of the future and also of now, its advantages are what will make it stay beyond time until something better can come and take away its adoption. As long the fiat monetary system still persists there will be more reasons to dive into bitcoin more
