Good post .. i think you're right in many areas on this.. The notion the people in power don't matter. I don't know if i fully subscribe to that idea anymore. I'm kinda starting to think its a lazy answer for alot of people. If you take someone like Donald Trump well he controls the executive branch. That's real power. It's not like mock or pretend power. This is why trump was able to veto the stimulus package.. pardon and do many other things he's done throughout his administration.

Whereas i do agree is that Trump in himself is a symptom of a problem that 70 million americans had. So that means all the problems we have don't necessarily originate with government. They originate with us. I know alot of people wanna find the 12 secret society guys in the dark room running the world. I'm more prone to believe now that citizens are just as responsible for their dysfunctional governments as the people we send to washington dc. Nobody told us to send Donald Trump or anybody else. So i do agree one in the action of a leader overall is greatly subject to the people one way or the other. However in addition to that i believe citizens are quite capable and intelligent of removing whoever from office they need to. The government will listen if we want them to do it. That's why you see these militia groups show up at state capitals with guns and all that to remind the government who's in charge. I don't believe the government is really as rogue as we think. I think we want this government and i think we put in place the people we want just like we put in Donald Trump and people even to this point with everything thats happened and everything he's done or not done. A great deal of citizens still want him as president so that to me answers alot of that.

Now in relation to technology companies. I do recognize the potential danger they can cause in a near future situation. I don't agree they've caused it yet. i do feel they will have the ability one day to cause it. However i would state that looking at the record the government i felt was quite forceful on facebook about starting a cryptocurrency. Now they haven't given any other business the amount of push back as they've given facebook. Of course i understand why they'd be on facebook like white on rice. Conceptually facebook should be able to run a blockchain business like every other business or every other businesses should be outlawed as well and prevented.

As far as tokenization as a means to preventative measures of this Orwellian dystopia future. Sure if projects evolved to a point they were going to tokenize something of signficant use. Unfortunatetly we mostly see a seas of redundancy. Nothign original just some version of some other coin. This is why bitcoin maximalist have a good argument on why we even need to create all these cryptocurrencies.

Most people just aren't incentivized to use cryptocurrency. It's nothing that really changes their lives dramatically at this point for the better. If i'm looking for a financial solution i'm not looking for it in crypto. If my money gets stole i'm in worse shape with crypto not better. Atleast with the banking institutions they get me my money back if its stolen or lost. As far as business solutions if i'm a vendor with a troubled customer or i'm a consumer who's dissatisifed crypto doesn't do chargebacks thats making things more complicated not less.

So yes we can evolve if we have something groundbreaking people will be incentivized to use and it be as useful to them as the systems they already have. The narrative of a possible dystopia that hasn't happened yet can feel like noah building the ark and the waters haven't come down yet. This is the psychology of human beings. So we got a long way to go. The first step in tokenization is building something unique and not redundant.
