If an insider knows a stock will yield him 10% profit and has a month of time to buy stocks, even if the daily volume is 500k shares. They can gradually buy shares at 20k/day, and once that news becomes public and the liquidy goes up they can sell off all of their shares in one shot pretty much. And people just just got news of the information would think that their stock has a 10% upside, but since someone already beat them to the 10%, they aren't going to get anything.
I keep hearing realestate and low rates, so that may easily be an outlet for the money to go to. I guess we'll see.

My idea is more along the lines of instead of pulling out a wad of money you're only pulling out $50 at a time.
Me personally, I don't mind the wallet amount being public because for things lie fundraising it keeps people honest.
What can be done I just thought up is adding another transport layer to bitcoin. And breaking up and distributing the wallet's contents "sum" among strangers into something like a checksum. Then on transactions bringing the chunks of checksum partially back together.
How it's broken down can vary. you have to remember though, if you are buying something for $10 all that needs to be verified is that you have $10 or more for the next step.

Underclocking the CPU is said to improve battery life also.
Newer intel CPUs. DDR4 RAM, and SSDs use way less energy than their predecessors also. So there really isn't much room to get this wrong when purchasing a laptop.
Projectors would be more commonplace.
Better home security would be way more affordable. Facial recognition, retina scanning, finger prints etc.
Just a few guesses from the top of the head.
