I have a feeling we are past the "tipping point" here... that is, the point where trying to control this gives way to trying to infiltrate it, instead.

Let's say the IRS allows you to pay your taxes with crypto... then they suddenly have a wallet address associated with you. Big corporations and banks might try to compete instead... offering pseudo-decentralized tokens that the majority of the world won't know (or won't care) to be any different from true decentralized tokens. Corporate cryptos might even be used in place of loyalty programs; you can "earn" — let's say — "Apple Coin" by purchasing Apple products, and so on.

I'm not sure — in the VERY long run — that this will be all that different from the Internet (which at one time was about "freedom and independence" of information) which has largely been incorporated into the old fashioned SOP of the business world.

Linux and Ubunty do NOT run the world; MS Windoze and Google Chrome DO.

Not trying to rain on the parade, just playing Devil's Advocate.
