If you're on the internet you've probably seen many videos about machines and AI taking jobs very soon.
I suspect that Bitcoin was a Government plan all along. If you look at Amazon they've been working on making automated checkouts a reality and their employees have been their guinea pigs for a while now. What I suspect they'll do when the technology is mature: they'll have businesses pay for the Amazon checkout technology and this will be the first step towards an automated society. Digital assets work perfectly for payment.
Here's Amazon Go:
I think this will be the first step in mass automation, the stores that use automation technology will be cheaper because they wont have to pay employees, there wont be long lines, you'll just walk in the store, a camera will either identify you at the door or show your ID, pick up what you want and leave.
Jeff Bezos runs Amazon and if you're interested in knowing what will happen in the future watch this video:
They'll probably have a second phase of automation where people wont even have to go to the store, they'll have a drone deliver your groceries by land or air.
Indeed, a lot of jobs will be gone in the future... And a lot of new jobs will come to! There will be the need to rethink our way of working and get paychecks... Maybe working less and a basic income could be part of the solutions... Some parts of my job will be gone in a couple of years for sure to... So keep ourselves educated and learn how to use new technologies seems to be the best way to ensure yourself of having a job in the future!
