I don't mean to be a downer, but I'm seeing so much stuff on Steemit about how the blockchain will free everybody and make everybody rich.

The world just isn't like that. It may be cool technology, and it may being wealth and freedom to some, but to most it won't change a thing for them.

Hmmmm.......... I feel a reality check post coming on...... hehehe

While I think my scenario is more likely, I prefer your scenario. ;-)

Technology usually changes the way humans are doing stuff, not the way humans are. Greed, fear, anger, compassion, all these are human traits and they are the consequence of the decision we, humans, take.

Very true. ;-)
In a round about way that's what I was getting at in my post today where I said that blockchain technology won't change things for a lot of people.

Mainly because people and their drivers won't change.

I was possibly a bit too morbid for Steemit at that hour of the morning ;-)
