New generations do not care about gold.. It is hard to verify. But my feeling is that is true. They do not care that all their info on the cloud regularly gets hacked. Simplicity, laziness and complacency rule.. It is hard to verify. But my feeling is that is true. However, there is a new trend thanks to the crypto believers and developers. This community started with a few thousands 9 years ago, they are now 20 millions. The believers are very much interested by controlling and protecting their things and they realized that the invention of cryptos and the blockchain makes everything possible without the help of traditional high end business, from banks to investments brokers. The developers are brilliant people, well-educated. They are young adults in their early twenties up to early thirties. Many PHD's. They have worked hard and will continue to do it. They are developing the future. The community is growing fast. Because the money is flowing directly from believers to developers. Many sectors of the economy could see major changes years ahead. For example: Wall Street, for one, among other market sectors. cointelegraph.com Traditional business will have to adapt Governments love THE* blockchain.. they will control it..* You mean that they will control all nodes of the Internet... I don't believe they can. They will control their blockchains and possibly some public ones that will allow it. That they can but they cannot control the blockchain that do not want to be controlled. I prefer to believe that there will be collaboration between the users/developpers of various blockchains with the various governments. As NEO's people have decided, they will collaborate: "Digital Identity. Anonymity is great. I think privacy should be at the forefront of today’s technological developments and discussions. But if companies and governments are operating on the blockchain, digitizing their assets, and issuing smart contracts, all under the watchful eye of the government, they can’t have anonymity. For a platform to be regulatory compliant, digital identity?—?a verifiable identity in digital form?—?is a necessary evil. " hackernoon.com
