"The true believers behind blockchain platforms like Ethereum argue that a
network of distributed trust is one of those advances in software
architecture that will prove, in the long run, to have historic
significance. That promise has helped fuel the huge jump in
cryptocurrency valuations. But in a way, the Bitcoin bubble may
ultimately turn out to be a distraction from the true significance of
the blockchain. The real promise of these new technologies, many of
their evangelists believe, lies not in displacing our currencies but in
replacing much of what we now think of as the internet, while at the
same time returning the online world to a more decentralized and
egalitarian system. If you believe the evangelists, the blockchain is
the future. But it is also a way of getting back to the internet’s
roots."
