Rise of sharing economy
Uber, Airbnb, Lyft, Bla Bla Car are just a few of them
It significantly reduces transactions costs
It allows to re-use still unused / dead resources in order to achieve Pareto optimality
All expenses related to mutual contracts and their enforcement can be delegated to the trusted and reputable provider
Multi-purpose "sharing economy" application
Usability of sharing economy applications is crucial for a massive proliferation of sharing economies
In the following years, we should expect a universal sharing application allowing anyone to provide almost any services to anyone
If a decentralization, end-to-end encryption and anonymous crypto-currencies are used, the government will lose the possibility to shut down the given service, intervene to the mutual contracts and enforce a taxation
3
Decentralization
We can see a lot of anti-Uber and anti-Airbnb demonstrations around the world
Governments enforce a lot of regulations often leading to complete ban of sharing economy services
Decentralization can help to avoid all government regulations
Arcade.city - "decentralized Uber" based on Bitcoin blockchain, now successfully running in USA
The first implementation of decentralized marketplace OpenBazaar is running on TESTNET
Anonymization
Imposing high taxation to services of sharing economy may lead to bigger acceptance of cryptocurrencies, especially true anonymous currencies like Zerocash, Cloakcoin, Zerocoin that cannot be tracked / monitored by 3rd parties
Reputation (fundamental for any business) is achievable even in a completely anonymous system
Tor or I2P anonymization networks in a combination with OpenBazaar may introduce a bullet-proof concept that cannot be shut-down or regulated

Anonymous decentralized anti-government insurance
Avoiding tax duties (thanks to decentralization and anonymity) will be still a criminal act
There will be an economical incentive / strong demand for an insurance that will protect sellers / buyers and help them to delegate the risk to 3rd party
Starting and running the anonymous decentralized anti-government insurance company with a good reputation without the government's possibility to shut-down or its regulations, is technically FEASIBLE
The future is bright, the future is decentralized
Sharing economy will be omnipresent
More government regulations mean technological movement to decentralization and anonymization
The time when crypto technologies make victimless crimes obsolete is just coming
The government's fight with sharing economy cannot be won, the sharing economy market cannot be technically regulated or prohibited
