I disagree with "we're just beginning..." We already know perils of non-hierarchical decentralization, it's why we have localized but not purely-sovereign republics. So many lessons.

“Fake News” is an example of one of the downsides of decentralization. We lose Central authority and therefore trust. In the long run, this should be overcome through a more effective decentralized information process (e.g. better transparency). But short run is uncomfortable.
