Wow, people still stuck on this tulip bulb thing ...
How about a little analogy? In the mid fifties a trucker conceived the idea of having his trucks' cargo loaded directly onto a ship, thus inventing the container ship, which essentially revolutionized the shipping industry. Nobody moves cargo the old way anymore, unless they are completely insane.
Moving value using distributed consensus systems based on pure mathematics is a similar revolution. However, it is likely to be at least an order of magnitude more significant.
Has anyone noted that Trump sounding off about election rigging is a perfect ploy for one who knew the election would be rigged in their favor?
In response, the opposition made strong claims that elections cannot be rigged, in spite of the verified evidence of experts that they can be rigged.
Net result: Trump wins an 'upset' election, that was actually rigged in his favor, whilst the opposition cannot bring itself to claim that is was rigged, as that would be a contradiction of their earlier defense of the voting system's integrity.
There already exists a flawless system for ensuring 100% accurate voting results: a distributed consensus network utilizing a public block chain. Voters get assigned public/private key pairs upon registration. Their vote is a simple transaction on the blockchain which they can validate anytime they want.

It might be a good time to invest.
