I agree with you with regard to Blockchain technology, where centralised servers are not required. I am currently doing some work with Ethereum but staying in sync I find troublesome and until a solution is found, it is problematic.

Using Blockchain to exercise democracy has its issues. If the correct response is made, but that response is based on a widely accepted myth, such as the belief that tax funds the spending of a state that is a currency sovereign, the response will automatically be wrong.

I fear that many will lose much sovereign currency when bitcoin eventually declines. However like any form of gambling or gaming there will be winners also.
