Have you ever seen the movie nerve? (Tl;dr [spoilers]: fictional online video game coercing people into doing dares based on upvotes from the internet hive mind which can't be shutdown due to handwavey "distributed" reasons. The protagonists eventually get all their friends together to launch a 51% attack to shut it down)

I think that sort of thing is the vision that these groups have when they talk about "the next" internet being built on "blockchain". Of course there are insurmountable technical problems between here and there...
