Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are OBVIOUSLY the technological basis for the fulflillment of Revelation 13:17. Someday a centrally controlled cryptocurrency will be required for all commerce on earth, and access to that currency will require permission to join the network. Easy to see.

Now, the issue which comes to the forefront of cryptocurrency development today is that of GOVERNANCE. The major issues in crypto right now relate to scalability and governance, that is, how do we improve blockchain technology so that it can handle millions of transactions per minute and how do we govern the rights of users and developers on these networks.

In light of the danger that AI could totally control an otherwise "decentralized" currency, such as bitcoin and any other pure Proof-of-Work token, we might want to hedge our bets and invest in some slightly centralized coins that use proof-of-stake or even masternodes. Which is worse, having an AI in control of everything or having a representative democracy of corruptible humans controlling a currency? I honestly dont know, but suddenly Proof of Stake coins sound more appealing...
