What's this?

I'm just trying to figure out how it will REALLY revolutionize the world.


I can see it one day replacing traditional financial institutions, but that is a lateral move in my opinion. Your analogy before, to the horse-buggy and Car, though similar because it is transportation, it completely changed everything about daily life. I'm not seeing that with even the blockchain. For instance, the blockchain can be used to prove identity of a person as an ID. Some countries are using that already... great, so, less paperwork and maybe less fraud. World-changing? Not so sure. A new tool? Yes, but a new industry? I'm not seeing that, I see an existing industry changing with the new tool.
