Talk about the future of Crypto Assets in my cognitive scope

1. BTC will not become the main currency for on-chain payments, but it will become a tool for store of value, leaning more towards the role of gold.
2. Eth will still be the king of smart contract chains in the short term, but the future (a few years or ten years later) is still unknown. Eth still faces the problems of high TPS and high on-chain costs. It's difficult to turn the ship around. Some drawbacks of layer1 cannot be solved in the short term. Many transaction shares will be taken away by layer2 and other layer1. So far, layer1 is still a chain that ordinary players cannot afford to play. The cost of layer2 has dropped significantly after the upgrade, but there are many scattered layer2, and even the development trend of layer3. Although they all rely on layer1 verification, it always feels that the complex layer2/3 is difficult to say that they are advancing together like allies, but more like independent branches competing with each other.
3. At least one high-performance public chain will break through. The blockchain needs a truly high-performance public chain that is secure, efficient, and has low interaction costs. It can solve various interaction needs through one chain, and the demand has always existed. Such a chain will definitely have the opportunity to emerge.
4. Currently, the blockchain is still in the stage where traffic is king, and it may be difficult to get rid of it in the future, because most of the people who have really entered this market have a strong speculative mentality. However, practical products will become the backbone. The adoption of ETF will bring TradFi funds into the crypto world, which is a milestone progress and will also change the rules of the crypto world game.
5. The combination of AI products and games is an opportunity to break the circle, although the current state of blockchain games is very bleak, there will definitely be groundbreaking works.
6. It doesn't make sense to talk about absolute decentralization in the future crypto world. Human nature dictates that wealth will always flow to a minority group. True decentralization is difficult to achieve, and the window of opportunity for getting rich quick will also narrow. In the past, luck may have played a role, but in the future, luck alone will be less important. Both luck and strength are essential in the battle of this market.
7. Pos and pow are not the key to Decentralization. It's a matter of human effort. What matters is what kind of people are in the team and community.
It seems that the VC's have not figured out this market, which means that there will be many opportunities for ordinary people in the next few years at least.
