Microtransactions will be the killer app. There is massive demand for the web economy to run off real money instead of bloated clickbait ads. There's money in it. So it will happen. Sending card details for small transactions is both insecure and too much mental overhead. Broadcasting single a transaction from a virtual bit of pocket change is not. Once every browser has a wallet and people keep a few satoshis in there the web will go through another revolution. Bitcoin also acts a store of value in a world where people want to save for the future in a form that can't be taken and devalued easily. Whether people want smart contracts without the common sense back up of humans and courts I'm not so sure. Ethereum is interesting and will have some use cases but it's not a certainty that the risks will be overcome.
