Vitalik first names crypto wallets as one big opportunity. He says "you can make a wallet that a billion people will use – that’s a huge opportunity"

Next, Buterin says that stablecoins will likely be a sector of the crypto industry that sees the appearance of the next big innovation.

The third opportunity is using crypto to threaten the hegemony of Big Tech over the internet.
