I think we've known crypto is the future since before bitgold. Technology is about breaking monopolies. The internet broke the communication monopoly. Email took the postal monopoly. Skype the telephone. PGP broke the secure communications. Uber broke the taxi monopoly. 3d printing will break the manufacturing monopolies. Blockchains break the bank/contract law monopoly. It's just the current implementations are not very good and most of it has become ponzi schemes. Cryptocurrency is now all about artificial scarcity. Once the artificial is removed and crypto reaches it's actual stable true scarcity cost with hundreds/thousands/millions of cryptocurrencies competing for cheapest/fastest/stable price/anonymous i believe you will see mass adoption.
