I'm impressed. Not one single person mentions blockchain seriously in this thread.
I think micropayments are going to take off in a tremendous way. This will enable new applications and disrupt the advertising and content creation systems in place today.
Stablecoins will be required, and will probably begin to take off once the next generation of blockchains launch successfully.
Payments in general will move over to blockchain - specifically layer two payment systems. We are close but it will likely be another year before the potential is obvious.
Other applications in blockchain will take hold too, but the ones above are the first real killer apps. Later it'll be peer-to-peer lending and a move to decentralized gig apps (like TaskRabbit or Uber on a blockchain).
