Thanks Dan. It's amazing to see people beginning to put things in place for a true renaissance of humankind.
All throughout time controlling forces have used information against us. But viewed from another perspective, it's actually been the obfuscation of information (lies buried in half truths) that has done the most damage.
Even on a "private" block chain, the evolution of AI will mean those in power can "see through" the privacy layers and get the information they desire.
Only those with the resources will be able to use AI to unlock private block chains and we all know who that'll be (government and criminal entities).
I for one am looking forward to open block chains where we can truly share information. We can analyse the macro without having to pay for the data from big corporates.
Even those who hide in private chains or chain privacy layers will have to link to public chains eventually...
I see a future where the open chains literally keep bad actors out because they can't interact with them from fear of exposing themselves (we'll be able to track corruption through movement of currency & assets into and out of the public chains).
In short, game theory. You wanted our data... here it is, every bit and byte and guess what... we see you too :-)
