I agree @zoidsoft.
Yet it is par for the course. We repeatedly witness the established entities invite in the technologies that destroy them. I remember when most websites (other than porn) were the media...newspapers, magazines...ironic that it was the internet that did them in.
Ultimately, I believe most of our "government" in the future will be on blockchain. I can also envision a time when we will choose our "government" and not have it based upon a geographic place of birth.
Estonia is already starting the digital "citizenship". This is an idea that will spread where we will choose the rules that we want to live under instead of having them shoved down our throat.
Of course, the establishment in place now is not going to welcome that shift....we will see a big fight. Of course, it will be interesting since the time to fight is now yet they are inviting it in. By the time they realize what is going on, it will be too late.
