With bitcoin came blockchain technology - a tool to decentralize all sorts of things beyond crypto-currency. Will it radically transform the way we live, work, and even govern ourselves?

Pioneers of blockchain technology and crypto-currencies have bold visions of an increasingly virtual future. Will it be a tech-rich utopia? The science-fiction future may be closer than we realize.
