My prediction - in 4 year:
backpackbang will dodge the bullets and be valued 300mln
Biotech & Nuclear will continue research. One will yield value.
Rest will pivot, acquihire or die.

I can't see any future where they don't get shut down.
All it is going to take is a couple smuggling stings on the travelers, and then they will have the reputation as not being safe.
I mean, who wants to spend their vacation in a foreign prison, waiting for the consulate? Or risk losing their job for smuggling a couple hundred dollars?
Maybe that's why it stands out.
I'm a pretty experienced traveller and I do people all kinds of favours but I'm fairly picky about what I take across borders for others. As in: I get to inspect the item inside and out beforehand.
Obvious, though not insurmountable, problems aside, I disagree it's niche.
