News that thugs took advantage of the federal contracting system to steal millions of dollars intended for Hurricane Sandy rebuilding reminds me of another storm — this one headed towards organized crime.

Ethereum is a blockchain that makes embezzlement impossible, causing big fat white guys’ heads to explode in rage throughout the Garden State and beyond.

Ethereum smart contract have the capability to set the rules for structured projects and campaigns that involve financial transactions for services rendered. These rules are transparent and run on the blockchain.

No single computer or person can change or bend the rules, so the funds are distributed in a fair and transparent fashion, with no worry that a couple of boxes of cash are going to fall off the truck into Guido’s Lexus. Guido isn’t authorized by the code to receive the funds, so hanging a low level clerk over a balcony for leverage is futile.

No amount of intimidation can change the rules once they are established as a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain. A smart contract cannot be intimidated, censored, altered, hacked or harmed in any way. It runs on thousands of computers everywhere — turn one computer off and you haven’t done shit.

The Ethereum blockchain will disrupt everything in the future, creating billions of dollars in new value by tearing down central points of control responsible for selfish rules.

For example: banks that levy overpriced fees; bureaucracies that introduce waste, delay and inefficiency; and “peer to peer” companies like ArBnB and Uber that take a much bigger cut than they deserve and keep the true peers (homeowner meet renter) from capturing the lion’s share of the value.

But perhaps the first intermediaries to be disrupted will be the gangsters.

Do you fear for the Ethereum development team?

Don’t. Two of these men are trained in Jazzercise. One is a confirmed minecraft grand admiral. And the other two are serving time in a Belgian prison for defacing a horse sculpture.

The Ethereum project rolls on —the foulest development for the mafia since the RICO statutes and the invention of cheap leather coats.
