The centralized business model of Silicon Valley poses a threat to the
national sovereignty of many nations around the world. [0] To own a 
nation's data is to own that nation.

Pitching decentralized solutions to foreign governments--who grow weary
of the yoke of American empire--seems worth exploring.

Riding a tide of anti-Americanism in the Trump area may yield global
benefits in the form of truly decentralized solutions.
