Yes, jobs will be lost. This is a fact, and it will be painful for many. And this is only the crest of the tsunami wave what we will see in 2018. I don't even want to start thinking how many of the jobs currently performed by humans will be automated in the next 10 years.
It is very likely we will mostly work as freelancers in the future, having multiple skills to increase our chances of finding work.
Steem blockchain has a great idea behind it, but it's still in infancy. Let's not add the pressure of being a potential provider of survival income for a swarm of jobless people to the minds of those who steer its growth, before it even handles a massive user base.
This is a great post, too bad those with the power of decision in our societies usually prefer different type of reading materials, by the apparent lack of interest in a subject that will hit us harder than a tsunami.
