It's good to see blockchain evoluate in real field application rather than just trading and financial investment; but I have to say we need to be very careful to what political says (I think about Macron saying this) as the action are usually very different from their initial speech.
The second point is that centralisation and globalisation (of data, means, etc...) can be good when well done, but needs to be done with care, because we don't have all the same needs, culture, philosophy; and many people feel isolated because their very specific situation isn't part of the global strategy; made for the more numerous people. It can be effective, but it can create fractures in economic and social spheres.
(But it's just my thought :D )
