It was a long discussion, and variants of possible time frames of mass blockchain adoption varied from 2 to 20 years.
For example, Jon Malach, CryptoCurrencyNews.com co-founder and UBuck Technologies Advisor, said that the millenials from North America will be the first and the most important client segment of the blockchain-based products.

In the meantime usage of cryptocurrency causes a rapid growth of the online gambling and cybersport services.
The only thing that stops the majority of companies from transferring services on blockchain is the fact that they do not have a proper strategy of blockchain technology implementation and absence of the stable cryptocurrencies.
Introduction of Stable Cryptocurrencies Will Lead to Spreading of Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies
Creation of the stable cryptocurrency is one of the main conditions for making blockchain and cryptocurrency a mainstream. A stable coin means that the cryptocurrency is bounded to a price of classic assets like gold, silver or the fiat currency. This leads to decrease of cryptocurrency ups and downs, thus coin price remains stable.
