And as Steven Johnson has mentioned in his article, 'Beyond the Bitcoin Bubble' what if you uploaded your own genome data onto your blockchain? Hell, what if your genome data served as the original authoritative code that registered you as the user!? YES! That's it! ID wouldn't begin with images and video files it would begin with your genome! Your fingerprints! Your ear! Your eyes! These would be your passwords.

Anyway if you did have your genome as a file on your identity blockchain you could allow access to that data by research applications, I think I'm just repeating Steve now, but GOD DAMN it's exciting!!!
