The reality is that the majority of people don't really care one way or the other. Whether we use centralized systems with governments manipulated by selfish and clueless people, or decentralized systems that are trustless, people just want to do things. 95% of people just want to go about their daily lives and couldn't care less.

That's why for Bitcoin and blockchain to take off and to replace government and corporate controlled central services, it will require the cyberphunk, libertarian, and various other visionary movements to really push through with their visions, and insist upon them politically, socially and financially. The change will come from 5%. The other 95% will just follow whatever the order is. Change the order at the top, and you change everything.

Until then the government will not be one that will willingly hand over its power to decentralized systems. They are corrupt and beautiful wordsmiths that con the majority of people thinking they act in their best interests. They're not going to suddenly hand over their power to a democratic trustless system. When however "we" get into power, we hopefully will see past the personal greed and make the transition for society possible.
