  As expected, the problem of interacting with the real world comes up again. It doesn't matter how decentralized your blockchain or "DAO" is, ultimately all interactions outside the blockchain will rely on one or more trusted parties that can go rogue or be coerced... at which point you may as well not have a blockchain and just trust these people directly.

    Sending some ethereum to a central address sure is easier though, especially when you're collaborating across borders.

      I think the equivalent would be Kickstarter, Gofundme, etc. rather than directly sending someone money.
