> I believe that one thing that will happen is that we will see distributed technologies take off and they will break the marketholds of some of these massive technopolies like Uber or Amazon etc.

Seem very unlikely. People have been saying that forever, but it is only getting less likely. For instance the Internet is probably the worst it has ever been for distributed technologies. Probably only a major reorganization would change that. Which isn't likely to happen with all the companies relying on centralization becoming increasingly influential, if not dominant. Even society is probably worse than it has been for at least a few decades for creating something outside of the norm. Large tech is the new big oil or whatever.

It is very unlikely in the immediate present as those companies are very entrenched, that is true. But I think that with the momentum and popularity Ethereum has, with the new sharding and scaling capabilities they are working on, it will probably become extremely widely used. Ethereum and or other related technologies. It will be a total paradigm shift, but that is actually a normal aspect of technological evolution. It is speculation, but time will tell.
Time will tell but i strongly doubt blockchain will have a huge impact on real market events and technologies.
