Agreed. I am mostly curious about whether it would be possible to see 
the probability distributions people assign to these possibilities.

Not that we are any good at predicting the future. But it is amusing to 
see things like "cash is outlawed" for 2029, when there is indeed a 
current debate in Sweden about removing it from stores.
