I enjoy and agree with your premise here. Large and profound technological change takes years if not decades to fully play out. I would argue that we're still early to the internet itself, and thus its effects on society.
One thing to note, is that I would encourage you to separate the nebulous cloud of cryptocurrencies, from Bitcoin. Much of the crypto landscape is indeed overhyped, but there is something deeper going on with Bitcoin, and it deserves its own separate analysis.
There are amazing stories of Bitcoin directly aiding people in need. The book I'd recommend on this topic is Check your Financial Privilege by Alex Gladstein.
