As a general financial instrument there seems to be too large an opportunity for fraud and scams that it seems to generally not be worth it outside of hedges against hyper inflation.

But the general idea of web3, personal ownership of data that you can seamlessly move to different interfaces, and as a way to trust documents still all seem like great reasons to have public ledgers. This may not be in the currency space, but I feel like general crypto is something I would like to see in the future.

I also love the idea of moving fully to stable coins for better tracking related to tax implications. I'm not sure of how this would work fully, but there seems far too much opportunity for tax evasion and fraud under the current systems and moving to a stable coin seems like it could aid in that regard.
