This is a really good post. I hadn't thought of some of the points you make.

I think the point you make about distrust of banks and institutions is a good one.

The future of cryptocurrencies is probably going to come from non-western nations where economic collapse, corruption and poverty has lead to large numbers of people being unbanked.

These vast numbers of people see the true value of things like bitcoin and the way they can transfer funds easily and securely without a middleman and with low fees.

They are also the kind of people who are more likely to deal with conflict and violence on a daily basis.

They are likely to flock to cryptos because they have no other choice.

The recent meltdown in Venezuela is a good illustration of this.
