I definitely think ethereum is a cool project. Unfortunately, I'll be a contrarian and say I don't think the answer is a completely distributed system. I think there is a few mixed options, but the totality must collapse to a central authority at some point.

Some projects, such as the Bitcoin lightning network or Ethereums' Raiden therefore try to build faster payment or state networks on top of the distributed systems with them as point of last resolve in case of conflicts of cooperation or availability. Doing the inverse of this might also lead to interesting results.
