Oddly, one of the greatest powers of the blockchain technology, for me, is its transparency. Of course in our capitalist system it is easy to understand how there would be many not wanting that transparency. Yet my hope is that system will eventually fade away and a more open and egalitarian world will follow; yet some might see that as the thoughts of an idealists.

The transparency of the blockchain opens the door for its use in governance, for example, so as to be able to fight corruption in the halls of power. It could even lead to direct democracy where elected leaders and their secret dealings are no longer required in governance.
