The Gig Economy hasn't even started yet. We've yet to solve Identity (Who is this?) and Merit (Is this person qualified/competent?). Hell, we've only barely started decentralized finance let alone scalable-decentralized-organizations. Uber/Lyft/Taskrabbit/Fiverr are low-hanging fruit compared to the complex workflows most services entail.

I expect we're going to see more niche gig-economy businesses being built around more complex workflows with higher skilled labor. Lots of B2B and B2C potential when you break up services into smaller tasks that can be fulfilled. Success is providing the benefits of scale without the challenge of doing it yourself.
