It seems fairly obvious people will be able to genetically engineer their kids before 50 years is up.
Blue eyed white people will be able to have black kids with brown eyes. And we'll have to deal with that reality.
More worryingly it will be possible to edit people's genes to such an extent as to make DNA forensics impossible.
Many people think this will never happen, in much the same way people in the 50s thought the idea of the science fikction story OBIT was ludicrous.
In the same way people in my youth in the 70s would have laughed at the idea people would prefer communicating with distant people rather than those sitting beside them.
Over my many decades, I've observed that people always do what they can as soon as they can do it.
Bitcoin may well protect us from inflation but it won't protect us from a population collapse or the technological simguarlity.
There's no such thing as future proofing.
