At the abstract generative essence level, there are two salient points he makes:
1. Ubiquitous technology disintermediates (transcends) Coasian barriers such as governments and geopolitical circumstance.
2. Decentralized consensus is a monumental paradigm shift.
However, I assert that:
1. Without anonymity, fragmentation and Coasian barriers will persistent (find my recent posts about anonymity).
2. Decentralized consensus is often not the correct way to implement decentralized services[1].
3. Ethereum has the wrong model for a programmable block chain (find my recent post for the correct model).
P.S. Charles and I used to talk before he found Vitalik and got involved with Ethereum.
[1] Two examples are that MaidSafe and StorJ are not the correct way to implement decentralized hosting as I have explained recently. And OpenBazaar is not the correct way to implement decentralized online selling. In both cases, and plethora of hidden services (servers) is the correct model and I predict it will win.

Thanks for the post, was good to see that the block chain aspect of bitcoin is getting more and more recognition for what it can bring to the market.
