Scientific advancement and technological innovation both greatly benefit from societies that have the greatest individual liberty and the least central control. The ultimate abstraction of this has yet to be designed but I'm thinking that it will be some form of ethical anarco-capitalism. I'll take a page from Dashcoin mining, where at the point of currency creation 10% goes into a general fund. The pseudo-central micro government functions solely out of it while the free market allows all companies to compete to ever decrease its market share. As transparency is a requirement of any truly ethical society, usage of blockchain technologies become ubiquitous in virtually every aspect of business and personal interaction. This then catalyses real time global value governance and regulation giving rise to a society entirety driven by dynamic hierarchies, where an individuals level of power directly correlates to their value to specific market / solution domain.
This type of dynamic global ethical anarco-capitalism has at its roots a resurrected US Constitutional based Republic. The transitional process is in its infancy but the forces of cryptocurrency cannot be undone.
As I said on 1490am Henry Raines show yesterday (slightly more developed), if we are to succeed we need to ensure that those allowed to regulate cryptocurrencies are as intelligent as those who created them. At the foundation of programmatic global value transmission are the keys to real time micro-economies that, by their very nature, foster the rapid evolution of dynamic hierarchies.
