I feel this depends on whether you believe concentration is a problem. Like before the Neolithic Revolution people didn't really have leaders, if someone tried to be a tyrant it was a lot easier to leave.

Though after agriculture and the ability to concentrate wealth blockchain is imo the first real shot of a store of value independent of a system.... though by creating a new system in which a few centralized players are in charge, humanity prevails
