When you wake up every day do you think "I would like to rock the world with my thoughts and make what seems impossible possible?" I understand perfectly what you're saying, you're saying this blockchain is also a functional and scalable web of trust.
For those who are uninitiated in webs of trust and the like, they are basically a way of assigning a trustworthiness score, in automatic, auditable way. This way, the web of trust can be verified in the case a large account goes bad, and average users can delegate their voting in helpful ways.
Dan, you attack only the highest value problems, eh?
