How might SAFEnetwork's goals be subverted, as we've seen happen in the now centralised "clearnet" internet?

Of course anything is possible, but I think SAFE is part of a bigger trend towards the decentralisation of capitalism and productive assets. For perhaps the first time in history, millions of consumers who are not landlords will be able to make money not from the work they do but from their capital. So, as the cost of capital goods continues to fall consumers will be able to buy a PC, a robot, a 3-D printer, solar panel, or an autonomous car and have it earn money (perhaps managed on an IOT platform), while at the same time avoiding most of the overhead, SG&A, or payroll taxes that come with running a BigEntity.

I think the smart companies will make money from selling products to consumers that can earn those consumers a return instead of trying to extract value as an intermediary in rent-seeking behaviour.
