What's not to like about tools for humanity? There are 2 billion people who have no access to even rudimentary financial services and all the possibilities for empowerment that brings. :) There is no hope about it. These networks are built on a foundation that resists corruption over time.....you can see it in action now :) Check out the Bitshare decentralised exchange.....a true marvel.
i don't know maybe just jaded of all the years of hearing the usage of 'world's first' over and over, while access is important i feel we leave other areas behind in that transition, i guess it's what bubbles you believe in, like if you believe in climate change and that those big data centres are sustainable and mining crypto using the worlds hydro power is a good step forward for human kind. i guess i worry about the wrong things! i'm one of the connected masses inside the existing billions that have access and i see what we already do with it, it's disconnected us from each other more than empowered in some cases. interesting usage of words, resists corruption over time, or it could be we just have a different kind of global elite, i don't see the balance like you do, that's on me. i accept that.
empowerment at the expense of diminshing global resources that are currently mismanaged by greed, maniupulated by sub sections of society that actually are so disenfanchinsed that they want to see it burn. i'm all for the tools to build in trust and authentic human empowerment. i'm just saying that the community element is way more than just a calculation - i should add i'm cranky pants before coffee and breakfast. i'm on that now. ..
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.. . COOOOOFEEEE. ..
