This is one of the more exciting applications for me for decentralised internet and networking in the very near future, at least if we have the financial side locked down in our ability to side step in some degree the middlemen of banking centres using blockchain technology in the short term until they get their ethics sorted (if ever?) I believe that the next chapter is the mobilisation of internet connectivity to be able to access the worlds blockchains.
We have already seen progress with satellite sharing of the blockchain for people in remote locations or with the equipment to pick up the validation of their transactions and accounts on the bitcoin blockchain, I expect to see a lot more mesh based networking projects around blockchain for local areas in all areas of the world — I feel that this project in Detroit could easily for instance develop an SMT here on steemit and then tie that in to actually paying for more people to come onboard to help connect different areas, increase the pipe on the gigabit side (run redundancy or add more speed) and feed into community based projects where talking to each other actually allows people on low income to eat today.
I can certainly see where my direction will be in the coming years to be a connector in connecting the dots between crypto income, distributed networking and community projects based on blockchain funding.
interesting fact, i used to own a similar mutherbored.com back in the day, it was one of my first website names i had in 1998 -- https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://mutherbored.com -- yes, that makes me feel really old -- kinda wish i had kept it.
