excellent post ray. It is indeed endless. But I'll pick up on a few parts: Brave. Yes it's the best browser there is, period. Beats anything provided by the big boys. (Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc) But that's because it does a lot of things those big boys don't want browsers doing, such as the user being able to control what information is given about them and to whom.
And from there I can quite easily jump to another question, where does all this come from? Well bitcoin itself was supposed to transform the global financial system by being able to send money from one side of the planet to the other side in seconds and essentially without any fees. It only succeeded to do that for a while, and it's currently not able to do that, but it was proof that this technology CAN be groundbreaking.
I think it really boils down to three things:
1. transparency is currently almost non-existent in our financial systems. with most blockchains there is FULL transparency.
2. control. Centralized is nice and easy, but next thing you know is that you're protesting for your freedom in Canada, always considered to be one of the "most free" countries out there, and the government shuts down your bank account. Not cool.
3. technology. We figured this pretty cool piece of technology that can do so much more than just act as a currency. The big institutions (whether we are talking about finance, music or anything else) aren't really interested, since change is scary and they are making a billion dollars in the current system.
