Hi everyone,
The world has come to a point where everything is changing to a new digital age.
One of the many ways is the emerging blockchain technology.

Blockchain, which began to emerge as a real-world tech option in 2016 and 2017, is poised to change IT in much the same way open-source software did a quarter-century ago. And in the same way, Linux took more than a decade to become a cornerstone in modern application development, Blockchain will likely take years to become a lower cost, more efficient way to share information and data between open and private business networks.
Based on a peer-to-peer (P2P) topology, blockchain is a distributed ledger technology (DLT) that allows data to be stored globally on thousands of servers – while letting anyone on the network see everyone else's entries in near real-time. That makes it difficult for one user to gain control of, or cheat the network.
Reference
Many Startups involved in Blockchain operations would Fail.

Blockchain technology is still immature in the technological world; this would lead to the collapse of many businesses using Blockchain in their transaction. As such, companies without solid backgrounds are likely to fail.
With the projection of Blockchain, it is highly taking control of almost every business sector shortly. Most businesses are taking a leap eye on blockchain technology.
With the expectations, Blockchain would take quite some time to advance fully.
Blockchain would take control of the financial market.

Due to the success of blockchain technology in the cryptocurrency market. It has had a significant impact on the financial and banking sector than other well-known traditional businesses.
This remarkable success has prompt banks and financial institutions to adopt and invest in the technology. ReiseBank AG has adopted the technology in 2016; few other institutions have taken that step too.
Banks from other countries are trying to use blockchain technology for quicker and effective transactions.
New Cryptocurrencies Will Emerge.

The introduction of bitcoin has made way for other cryptocurrencies to emerge. Countries like the USA and few others have introduced their crypto coin. Russia has also taken that step to develop its crypto coin known as "Crypto Rouble."
Some countries were skeptical about the cryptocurrency market, but they have realized the need for crypto in this new age. Countries like Nigeria and few others have banned the use of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
A time would come where new digital coins will replace traditional banking and currency systems significantly.
Government institutions would Adopt Blockchain.
source
Government agencies are making moves to adopt blockchain technology. The technology can is capable of handling citizen's data. As the government has to keep its citizens' data, an extensive database is needed to manage this vast data.
More Blockchain Professionals Would be needed.

Blockchain technology has a smaller number of experts and the future of blockchain is promising, It is, therefore, advisable to form a career in this field if you want to since there would be high demand for blockchain experts.
