I'm not saying this will or would happen overnight. But what about 100 or 200 years from now? If we can get this going, let them seek power. If the use of that power doesn't benefit humanity, then they will be bankrupt and thus won't have power. Wouldn't it at least act as a brake on exploitative wealth?

It could start as an exchange that the current proceeds are used for big advances.
