I agree. There are a couple interesting platform pieces before things start getting really interesting:

1) Getting US laws encoded in GitHub

2) Building a better proof of identity/residence verification provider that feels more like Authy and less like shitty SSN/identity questions, which provides a semi-anonymous user ID and geo range

3) Building a distributed consensus layer on top of that which makes it easy to conduct and tally anonymous polls across geo ranges for identity/geo verified users
