The blockchain we need or the blockchain we make (deserve)?
The idea of the blockchain technology is not very well understood for most people.
But, for the few who do understand:
We recognize that the fatal enemy of blockchain is not for the price to go to zero. The real enemies will look different, in fact after we get pass the first attacks from establishment power (or whatever you want to call it). I'm not big in conspiracy theories, but it's pretty obvious that it will disrupt some forms of power.
The real problem will be on the use we end up making of it, as this time the development of blockchain technology is not limited to military or pure financial use. We should be able to access our new freedom as humanity with an approach that doesn't just allow for a new group of people to get super rich, but to enrich life experience on earth for all.
The questions that we should ask ourself and that I ask you are:
What will get in the way of a positive change? Is there even a chance for the blockchain revolution to succeed in a positive direction for humanity? What factors will determine the final outcome of all this?
The answer is simple, either the banks or government. Greed is too strong of a power for man to subside. lucifer is VERY good at what he does. Finally, someone that understands the long-term picture.
This is a very good point you make. But how about the the value of and power of goodness. Sorry, I don't like to approach problem from the defeated perspective. (But I don't completely disagree.)
I can conquer with that. If you only take on defeat then you lose before you take your first step. I go at it trying to take the "unprepared for" that are guaranteed to happen, like a challenge.
