>I think the goal should be to stop using any form of cash as a store of value

No one should use any currency as a store of value, use actual productive assets. And your argument that we should make financial products enter the Internet era is completely true. I just don't see where the cryptocurrencies help.

Have you looked? There are better savings accounts with proof of stake systems. There are programmable components with ETH, EOS, Lisk, various others. There are bank/savings accounts that can be signed up for with a web browser (smartcash). The list is endless.

It's mostly about speed of innovation. Cryptocurrencies will just make creating and experimenting with financial products easier (being unregulated).
