I think cryptocurrency will be around for awhile. But, it's very difficult for anyone to use it as intended..a decentralized currency. Massive swings in value, easy manipulation of value/little regulation, and all of the hacks we've seen of major exchanges have scared off the average non-tech user. My brother, who is tech savvy, had about 30 bitcoin on a hard drive when it was worth sub $50/bitcoin. He formatted the drive accidentally and completely lost them all.
