My premise is that 'nothing changes'.
The blockchain is not the key to freedom that it s being hyped up (by some) to be.
At the moment bitcoin etc is going mad - that's true. Who is profiting off this?
Do you not think the banks are raking it in playing the markets?
This stuff is their bread and butter. They are not missing out.
They will cream it and then build their own blockchains and then you will see the battle begin.
I trust it cannot be worse than what we have now.
It can always get worse.
But that doesn't mean it has to or that it will get worse.
I hope it will get better.
I hope that in ten years you can call me up and tell me how wrong I was, and no-one will be happier than me to be so wrong. :-)
