Governments are people. Usually they are small in number.
Governments get their strength from two things. Either they have the guns and nobody else does, or they have the support of a substantial number of people. If they have the support, it is usually because of propaganda (lies) spread by their politicians.
Something like MaidSafe will change all that; MaidSafe, while not being based on Bitcoin, has similar encryption forms, used much more extensively.
How will MaidSafe change things? People will be able to organize and communicate so that they can spread the truth. And doing it through MaidSafe will allow a hundred times more privacy and anonymity than can be found in anything on the current Internet.
Privacy and anonymity will allow people to prepare for all kinds of governmental actions against them. They will be able to communicate safely. Nobody will be able to keep them from spreading the truth about things governments and their law enforcement branches are doing. They will be able to cover for each other much more easily and effectively.
Currently there are slightly less Google hits on "cops" (the TV show) searches than on something like "police brutality." Two years ago there were something like 3.5 times more on "cops" as "police brutality." People are waking up. MaidSafe will make the wake-up practical.
With Counterparty and Mastercoin, protocols can be built right on top of the Bitcoin protocol so that people can start to communicate and organize to find out what the truth is, RIGHT NOW. And when MaidSafe becomes completely active, if we don't like government the way it is, we will be able to organize to change it without political interference.
This stuff isn't dreams. It is active and partially active right now. And Bitcoin is the focal point that's making it all come together. Bitcoin is also the focal point that just might de-fund government while Congress tries more and more to increase funds to government.
When the Internet goes "radio," there will be no stopping it outside of complete electronic shutdown. And such a thing as that will shut down government as we know it, as well.
