It's interesting to note some parallels that exist in the world today. For instance in digital currency there is a battle for the most popular coin. Supporters of different currencies are looking to the real world for successful models they can emulate for ultimately going main stream and effecting the planet. But looking to the non-virtual world what is really popular? Donald Trump. Some could argue that he is really unpopular but I would ask you this. If any crypto was so notorious what effect would that have on the entire sphere. It would likely go to the moon. Trump also has been trying to solve similar problems to the decentralized currencies. He wants to solve by decentralizing various things: Trumpcare is more decentralized. The wall is also because it relies on something that could be maintained with less state effort over time. Education is becoming more decentralized under DeVos. The tax plan is simpler and like the wall requires less state effort over time. Better infrastructure helps the economy more than welfare and is easier to privatize. At the same time the rest of the world is going the same way. Now both are getting popular. Now Watson and other AIs are finding a world that is easier to come into. AIs are helping or becoming integrated with blockchains. They also support the laws and help in the traditional hierarchical centralized world. Can artificial intelligence bring the crypto world into the centralized pyramidal one that started with the Egyptians or is the pyramid structure just a temporary one that will fade in the process of decentralization? Is there a lesson to be learned by the decentralized world by the populism of Trump? Will some AI soon take over and fuse the two together and would an AI make a better leader? The questions just keep on coming.
