Bitcoin (obviously  Grin )
Ron Paul
Cold Fusion/Free Energy
UFO Disclosure

If one of those is new to you I suggest you research it.

demographic transition in the developed world
factor price equalization in the world (basically, almost all prices in the world will converge - rent, wages, interest)

I agree, but the price will be 0 (zero).
Once Free Energy is widely available almost everything will be available for free, and people will work for free too.

Why work if it's for free ?

It's not like free energy will mean free food will magically apear on your table.

Because people are generous, because they like to help, because they like doing what they are good at, because of prestige.
Work will mostly not be work as we know it now, it will be a fun occupation.

Peace, love and lots of people working for free.  I love the way the hippy culture of the 60s has come back as libertarianism.

I can think of MANY occupation that are not considered fun for anyone. How many people would continue working if they had no financial needs ?

Sorta, but libertarians have guns, support free markets, and vary on the social spectrum

You're standing on a flagstone running with blood, alone and so very lonely because you can't choose but you had to

Free energy won't be available until the Globalists have finished culling most of the population and enslaving the rest.

Ron Paul

Ron Paul is retiring at the end of his current term. But maybe he'll spend his retirement hunting UFOs and kill two of the birds on your list with one stone.

Hippies were very anti-business and lived in communes. Comparing that to libertarianism makes my head hurt.

IMHO there are certain trends growing now that will change the world in the not too far future:

Bitcoin (obviously  Grin )
Ron Paul
Cold Fusion/Free Energy
UFO Disclosure

If one of those is new to you I suggest you research it.
Can you guess which one is not like the other? Guess which one doesn't belong? Can you guess which one is not for the nutters, before I finish this song?

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

In the spirit of the original list:

  • Lyndon LaRouche
  • Time travel
  • Unicorn disclosure

More seriously:

  • Aquifer depletion and water shortages
  • Increasing oil prices
  • Decreasing renewable energy prices
  • Automated warfare
  • Climate change
  • Additive manufacturing
  • The end of Moore's Law and failure-to-materialize of the Technological Singularity*
  • Global convergence of material standards of living

Far more speculative, but not impossible and certainly disruptive if they come to pass:

  • Molecular manufacturing as in Drexler's Engines of Creation
  • Increasing the overall human life span or just finding a way to keep people healthy and productive up until death
  • Nuclear war, even a "little" one like between Pakistan and India

*This is more of a refutation of another popular megatrend idea than a trend in itself

I hear merging human and animal genetics is getting popular in europe.

Since today Americans are now 1 more step closer down the hill to 1984.
All american IPs are to be logged.

that does really suck about the Singularity.

In South America they do all kinds of genetic mixing because there are no laws against it.  That's how countries get around the laws in their own land.  Do it in someone elses.

Free energy?  Uh....not unless the laws of the Universe change, or at least our understanding of it.

Bedini Motor
Here's the patent info for the motor I believe you're speaking of:
http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?CC=US&NR=7109671&KC=&FT=E&locale=en_EP

Looks pretty easy to build.

Check out the Energy from the Vacuum series.  Particularly the ones with Bedini and those using his designs.
