Thank you for the great, informative post. It hopefully will give value to more people than just me.

Some personal thoughts:

The Blockchain technology will revolutionize the way "money" is transmitted and especially controlled.

I do actually think that it does help to show the building blocks of our current financial economy, by giving users open access to the functioning of a financial system.
This gives them the opportunity to truly question our current system, and see the flaws it contains.

Further, I think that all the big organizations, which currently centralize a lot of knowledge and power. Will eventually collapse, because upcoming tools like Hive account@steemit, utopian.io, Appics, Matryx and many others, will decentralize the way collaboration is done. Thereby, stopping the need for institution-like networks, and opening a new world of global-collaboration.

Also have a look at my recent post: A Review of Matryx: A decentralized collaboration platform
