The Internet was seen as a great liberator when the small guy could compete against the big corporations. But fast forward 20 years have we lost the benefits of the net with the way it is now dominated by a few large companies? From being a liberator it has become controlling. Will we see the same happen for blockchain where initially we can see it as a great disruptor and disinter-mediator only to become something that over time becomes less free and more controlling?
Very interesting topic, wondering why people has not got engaged with this one.
This issue is really a major one and just the way Internet was controlled later on gotten its liberty fade away, same thing might will happen / happening with the blockchain. Lets push this through our minds and imagine as to why governments are not tolerating these technologies right now? Because they might be planning on different course of it, to acquire it, to handshake the deals with private giants and learn how blockchain might be controlled.
They will never let this thing be free forever and there will be no public ledger in the next chapter of cryptography.
