I do so wish you were wrong, but the part of me that actually believes you're wrong grows smaller with every year that passes.
The challenge I see (or we could be more honest and call it "problem") is that the "conformity mindsets" seem to automatically want to centralize themselves. From where I am sitting, it's not just about power not giving itself away, it's about the willingness of the many to give away their power... if we just have one central body do all the thinking, we won't have to expend energy on engaging in critical thinking for ourselves (not talking you or I, just the "masses").
My personal "fear" for the crypto/blockchain space is that we have reached a point where the genie can no longer be put back in the bottle, SO THEREFORE those centralized organizations threatened by the decentralized paradigm will instead play along and usurp the concept... and we'll end up with *"Amazon Coin"" and "Bank of America Coin" and "eBay Coin" and so forth, and then the great non-thinking "Conformity sheep" will reach a point where they all want to pile into crypto... and they'll — en masse — pile into the familiar names like Amazon, Bank of America and eBay while fully believing that they are part of some new disruptive revolution while the actual decentralized idealism will be pushed into some distant shadows where the remaining 3% of us live.
I also wish I were very wrong about that...
