I’m trying to imagine a world in the late 2050s, and Crypto is almost sure to be a big part of it. The thing is, I can’t even fathom what economy in general could look like in 25 years, and I’d like to hear your opinions/predictions, specially related to tech advancements. My main questions are:

• Would Quantum computing mess with crypto payments in any way? My understanding is limited but, if I understand correctly, Q-C could allow to “break the blockchain”, how? Could it do the opposite?
• How do you imagine the economy in the next 30–35 years? Will Crypto grow to the point of being the standard way of using money? Will it replace centralized spending?
• What would be the advantages / disadvantages of Crypto becoming the standard? Not only speaking economically. Ecologically, socially, anything.

I am honestly curious to hear your responses. Thanks for your time, too.
