This post is life giving. Great stuff. As you said I too believe there will be a clash of ideals before we see them adopted on a globao scale.

So we continue to give people value and create a new and better world for the benefit of everyone. I'm ready.
I sense the clash will be not as severe as some might think...
The consensus that change is needed and inevitable is strong. Andreas Antonopolus made a good point that if a government is resistant to crypto, its probably questionable - as in, any viewing as a threat or trying to thwart its growth are probably corrupt and need squeezing out - and they will be.
Meanwhile, advocates like Don & Alex Tapscott are really taking this to the professional institutions and working towards integration at top corporate amd governmental levels.
Also take a look at the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance - the partners are MAJOR players. A collective force like that alone is a sure sign things are moving in the right direction and the resources are being allocated to ensure the minization of major clashes, given the proper education and ethical procedures for implementing this tech as solution-driving to all parties...
