The idea that whatever is placed on the blockchain stays there for ever (or at least a very long time) is incredibly powerful. Also too the fact that there only has to be one instance published is also mind blowing. Think about an orchestral concert for the first performance of a Mozart or Beethoven composition... Once ended the sound fades, the audience leaves and it is gone never to be relived. A fresh composition performed and placed on the blockchain lives for ever! At some time in the future someone will rediscover a truly magical piece of art suited to the times and highlight it and it will "go viral" - I believe real art will endure just like real wisdom. I agree, we are starting to see these "Philosopher Kings" appear and gain large followings. My favourite at the moment is Scott Adams - even though he's "just a cartoonist" ;-).
