Not really, im talking about increasing efficiency in systems by reducing the ability to corrupt.  Corruption is expensive, its a fat tax. You can compare it to an electrical system where bad actors are latching on along the line and siphoning electricity away, adding resistance. Crypto creates a new layer of shielding on the wire reducing the resistance, allowing the power to flow where its intended. 

Crypto has so much gravity due to its efficiency in reducing corruption if for no other reason.  Does this mean bitcoin is worth $1000000? Fuck no. But user owned, automated censor-proof networks are here to stay and will continue to grow like a virus. the broad use of these tools are inevitable.

Edit: Also to respond more directly to your edit, people vote "democratically" yet all over the world voting systems are rigged and manipulated. This is exactly what im talking about, user owned crypto networks provide solutions to create voting systems that cannot be rigged.
