Good question.
So far, it seems that privacy (one aspect to individual liberty) is taking a backseat to convenience on the blockchain. We saw that with my inability to get funds off Steem/Hive without a smart device and/or bank account. You'd think it would be possible, and that people would be working nonstop to make it happen and improve it, but apparently not. So hopefully other aspects of individualism fare better than privacy has so far.
