I don't see it happening until governments themselves take an interest in decentralization. We are just now getting to the point where both major political party presidential candidates are taking a "pro crypto" stance. But what does that mean? Whatever it means, I can assure you it doesn't mean they favor decentralization. They likely do not understand what the technology represents.
I think the idea of using AI to catalog history on decentralized servers has merit, but let the lawyers enter that discussion and you'll see a fight over control of that asset that will make net neutrality look like child's play.
A large number of U.S. citizens want privacy more than open access. In fact, they fear anything "open" ... borders, data, source, information. You name it. The battle is mostly against ignorance and ignorance is bliss. God help us.
Looking for governments to be the solution is not part of the equation. People who believe in governments tend to not know history. Decentralization and governments are counter opposites.
Tyranny always falls because force is required. That ends up being overcome. Of course, that can take decades to resolve.
The situation is up to people right now. They decide. And I have news for you: it isnt people versus governments. Big tech is close to dominating governments, especially as confidence in the latter collapses.
We are going to see governments suffering greatly as people rise up. Civil unrest is only now starting, Give it another couple years and you will see it reach epic scale, especially as governments default on their obligations. All the while, Big Tech is only going to keep getting stronger.
They have a simple advantage: they move 100x (or 1000x) times faster than governments.
