Historically, bitcoin was inspired by the 2008 crash. Same crash that inspired the 1% matches in the US and other movements over the world. Because of the centralization of wealth and power.
Once the next major depression comes in, a form of cryptocurrencies will gain traction again. People are fed up with big banks and centralized power.
