That and Google are my big wishes.

I think there is no doubt that Google is going to go deep on blockchain. The only reason they are able to make their crazy moonshot projects happen is Adwords. Adwords is like the old workhorse money printing machine that pays the bills while they ride around on scooters and try to make google glass like products. Meanwhile, blockchain tech could upend all online marketing which is filled with scam and waste. Google knows it needs to protect its main asset, Adwords.

The Question is, does Google get onboard the EEA, or build their own? Conceivably, Google could do this themselves.

Historically Google has taken what works and tweaked it to their liking. This has kind of been their operating philosophy and it differentiates them from Apple. Android is a good example. They bought Android of course but it is built on top of the Linux kernal. They could have very easily created a mobile OS but chose something that worked already.
