The problem with Bitcoin is that it is "international" in nature.

Yet, China holds the largest share of Bitcoins and thus ownership is unbalanced.

I think there is more value in Blockchain at the municipal or federal level of a country to improve transparency and such. Or somehow even the issuance of currency. Given geopolitical unrest and contention, or differing political views (USA vs. China), I can't see how this decentralized coin will continue over a 20 year period.
