Blockchain technology facilitates decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and there are a variety of startups that are building platforms that directly threaten the corporate infrastructure that we all live within. Not only do they threaten corporations, but they also threaten political structures and other governing bodies. It is possible that, within 10 or 20 years, we will witness the emergence of an entirely new business model, based on the voluntary contributions of millions of people around the world. It would represent the single largest “disruptive innovation” of human history. Of course, nobody knows for sure how these trends will play out but the seeds are being sown for a revolution in the way we live, work and govern ourselves.
