"Yes and a equal amount of beneficial things."

I am officially bailing out of this conversation. You said multiple times that governments will find no function in blockchain. Now all of a sudden you say that they WILL find function. I proved multiple functional purposes, that will serve government and private business. That was your argument, I illustrated things that you never envisioned.

What you "envisioned" is nothing special. All have been stated multiple times a month on this forum since its inception.

I did not say that there is no governmental/corporate function of a private ledger, but a public one.
I said that it would not be needed or functional since it can be done now in private systems, as they do now (ex Banking - DMV)
You do not need the blockchain system to perform what you are describing, just for systems to talk together.

As for the enforcement issues, which just arose in the most recent conversation, is a different issue.
This issue and your example is contingent that the cars will not function if your blockchain ID is invalidated.
Your example applies way in the future, probably after we are both dead.
Society is headed that way anyway without blockchain tech.

Now you are trying to say that this is already occurring but at a much slower pace. No, I do not know what you do for a living, but I can tell you with certainty that taking a driver's license away now, does absolutely nothing to prevent a drunk driver from driving. The change is enormous. Nobody's home key will stop working if they don't pay their mortgage.

Your statements of how monumentally life changing this is, is comparable to when people created boats, planes, rockets, nuclear power, or whatever.
Yes it will create a paradigm shift in different areas of society. That is obvious. That is why people are so excited about it.
What you are saying is that it seems to be wrong in some way, since it has the possibility to lead to our enslavement.

Some of these things are good, until they happen to you.

I don't drink and drive and I don't live outside my means.
