One of the things that has interested me for a long time now is the issue of "decentralization" and where exactly that (as a functional model/concept) ends up giving way to "fragmentation" instead. Everybody "doing their own thing" might be a nice ideal but we also shouldn't completely throw out the benefits that come with "economies of scale," or we run the risk of our intent to progress actually taking us backwards.

Just from my own days in the IT business, it was painfully clear that Developers were Developers, Marketing people were Marketing people, Managers were Managers and Salespeople were Salespeople... and there are very good FUNCTIONAL reasons why they should not be allowed to do each other's jobs. But they all have to work together. Meaning that if each were to implement their own vision you'd end up with the sort of fragmentation that would ultimately lead to four failures, not four successes.

Everybody thinks they can "run the world," but they can't. It takes a broad range of skill sets to run the world.

As for the legacy economic leaders, my guess is that they will try to usurp what we're doing by copying (to the extent it's possible) what we're trying to do in a centralized way and then passing it off to the sheeple as "the same thing" as we are trying to create. "Welcome to Bank of America chain!" "Here, have some American Airlines tokens!" And the public will go "Oh look! Cryptocurrency!" and be none the wiser...

Yes, I get a bit dystopian, at times...
