I understand very well where you are coming from. I genuinely do not believe that this blockchain stuff is just more snake oil. It changes everything at a fundamental level.....the full effects are still way behind as everything tries to catch up.
Bear in mind that not every blockchain is the same and some will not be able to deliver. It's the ones that succeed that i'm most interested in. Read up on DPOS, the delegated proof of stake consensus mechanism that helps to keep steem, bitshares and other honest. Do I know everything will work out in the end? No. I just believe in the chance.
Enjoy the coffee bud :)
it's why i'm here. it's why i'm engaging and it's why debate is so important. boy do i need coffee this morning.. .. i'm a supporter trust me.. . it's educating that 'last mile' of people i'm interested in, i spent all my life trying to use language that people understood working for the 'man' and had to go self employeed because i wanted to run at MY PACE instead of slowing myself down, the tools are exciting, for sure.. .
