Crypto's are something like it could be the next wave of money. Of course the government would own it and the intro process would take years, maybe even decades. Someone in the 60-80's could grasp the concept of crypto's but many are stuck in their ways and would refuse to use a crypto currency. Everyone around me age (33) has at least heard about crypto's and would be like more likely to use it. It might take decades to fully phase in. 

By the way, nothing changes. The same people own the same stuff, your silver is still undervalued and facebook is still overpriced.
