Prediction: we will see this kind of analysis being repeated verbatim (perhaps with the names changed as the scope, scale, and nature of decentralized ledger technology evolves) for the rest of human civilization, just like we have seen it repeated verbatim for the first decade of Bitcoin. Bitcoin != Cryptocurrencies != Blockchain != Sybil mitigation mechanisms != Decentralized ledgers != Distributed decentralized consensus Each of these will unfold on distinct dynamics and have various trade offs as they do.
