Also, how would a decentralized version of Twitter work? You still have to rely on ISPs, hosting companies, App providers like Apple/Google.

There's already some out there. Mastadon is a decentralized social media network. Works like other things on blockchain. And because the servers are private and distributed and growing in number constantly, the government can't do squat about it.

Think about what that means. Oiligarchs won't be able to influence it. No more douchbag Zuckerbergs or Google or anything else. No more control points the intel agencies can inject themselves into to throttle speech or commerce or anything else. Run it all on bitcoin and governments are going to be much different entities than they are now. Will be really hard to fund wars when they have to buy bitcoin to pay for things after they destroy the dollar.
