RE: Could Crypto ideas go mainstream? (Part 2 – Politics)

in #politics7 years ago

I have always been an optimist, and yes I think we may have the technology at last. I had a life insurance salesman call around yesterday, and we went way off topic in to a lengthy discussion of the global financial system and the blockchain. Word is spreading... ! I keep telling people that the crypto thing is far from over. People look at the Bitcoin story as if it is something they have already 'missed out' on. Far from it, I say!

Sort:  

I agree things are just getting started. We have a few more bumps in the road ahead but I'm becoming an optimist again after years of just being cynical about the future.

Ha ha, no doubt. For years I was a kind of weird mixture of optimist and pessimist, in that I thought that things were going to get worse before they got better. I'm kinda hoping that I was right, and now things are going to be getting steadily better after having got as bad as they are going to. I see the arrival of the blockchain a little bit like when Gandalf arrives at Helm's Deep - the 'war' is far from over, but the tide is turning. :-)
