Im really glad you can see the implications, they seem to be lost on most users here. I really think that this whole industry is clever solution to hardware overproduction worldwide, rather than limiting prices or production, hardware manufacturers decided to create demand by creating massive projects scaled to provide artificial demand over as long of a period as possible.
It is not hard to see why government agencies would have an interest in keeping the world demand for computers insatiable seeing that they have invested trillions of dollars in being able to access computers on their network, not to mention the taxes they should stand to loose if they cracked down.
The mass adoption of BITcoin also limits the potential of individual inventors to create new types of more powerful networks by centralizing incentive to the physical internet. To think that the way we now transfer information is superior is naive. I envision a future where true decentralization proliferates and blockchains are viewed of like central banks are today (creating worthless fiat).
The core ideas of BITcoin are not new, these ideas have just now been finally sanctioned during the last decade. While digital money and fiat has always been rejected by educated consumers, they will soon react now knowing the rules have changed and this once stigmatized behavior is now acceptable.

In the past people used to do this to coins when access to banks and mints were limited, in a way we are now returning to this situation, the only difference is we are actually splitting fiat currency not silver.
