The big corporations are scrambling to try and maintain their position of power. I think you're right about crypto currency, and the decentralized market. Have you heard about synereo.com, openbazaar.org and blockstack labs? I can't find much info on synereo as far as who's funding it (I think it's crowdfunded) but openbazaar is being funded by some big investors and blockstack is being backed by Microsoft. Very interesting....
