What do you all think the most profitable segment of finance will be in 20 years?

Segments could include HF (specify strategy) / AM (specify asset class), PE (buyouts, growth equity, VC, etc.), IB, Real Estate, Crypto / Blockchain, or really anything else here I haven't thought of yet. If there's a unique spin you have on this, would love to hear that as well.
