I suspect information is going to continue to trickle out over the next decade and the story is going to be like a coal mine fire. Always There.

Someone's gonna get the bright idea of building a friend map from this and the Hillary mail server, and people are going to run AI on it.

A lot of the "redactions" are going to get "un-redacted" when it becomes obvious who was on the other side.

I can see why Elon wants to build a colony on Mars. There aren't any bunkers deep enough anymore. For protection from earth-people, he's going to be able to charge whatever he wants.

Oh right, I remember the problem. We still don't know how to pass secrets on blockchains. If we can figure that one out, it will be HUUUUUUGE.

1. I have a secret
2. I encrypt it (somehow) on a smart contract blah blah on a blockchain
3. You want my secret, and you're willing to do whatever the contract requires to get it (pay), so
4. You make a key pair and you submit your public key into the contract with the payment and the contract does <magic> which re-encrypts my secret so that your private key is able to decrypt it.

Every way you try to solve this, the miners/validators/etc can always steal the secret...
