They'll be a lot of different types of systems that come out of crypto, I think -- some tending towards centralization, others towards decentralization. Both have their pros and cons, but I do believe that it will increase the amount of transparency in the process overall just because of the way the technology works. I know that some are distrustful of people working in big organizations, but a lot of them just want to do their jobs better, too.

One thing that people ought to be more aware of is that modern societies are already decentralized to some degree. The separation of federal/state/city governments and the three branches of government are good examples. Decentralization just means that you don't have to run every single decision past the president in order to keep things running. (Thank god, really.) Crypto just allows for our technology to better reflect how society already works.

I would like to see crypto give users the ability to vote on things that actually matter to them. The current state of social media is very top-down, whether techies want to admit to it or not, imo.
