Mostly agree , inspiring post!
Just not sure about the point that state-nation power was based just on physical things like army an jails
I think the real power of the states was relying in controlling people's mind
First with religion and later with media and tv , holywood cinema etc
And while is probably true that new generations have Internet which opens them the access to unlimited information sources
I also think there is a psychological barrier which scares people to think by themself , and get out of the mainstream thinking
Specially for young who may feel lonely and lost
Of course, the nation-state and religion often conflicted.
In fact a case could be made that the nation-state wrestled a great deal of control from the religions of the world.

Right , but my point is that physical power is just a secondary tool nation-states use to control people
So when you say that nation-state will disappear ( I agree on this)
But I am not sure to agree on "institutions were material in nature" , actually education systems in western Europe are compulsory until you get to a certain age
So , you learn to draw the borders of your "country" , the "history" of the winners and the language of your nation
Most people did not start using Facebook to escape the control state had of personal communications , but because many people used it
Even very clever people get scared when they get sick or happens a natural catastrophe, and they need to believe in a god , in science or technology
So at least technological advance gets to the level of change people psychology I find hard to see a massive change in society
Anyway , DAO will probably bring more freedom , but what will stop a new "DAO Facebook" manipulating society?
But out of this point I find your points really enlightening!
