RE: Book Recommendation: The Sovereign Individual (1997)

in #books7 years ago

The history of the world is the story of greedy people seeking power and dominance. It is also the story of technological advancements, however the irony is the plot of the story stays the same. Like the invention of the wheel cyber currency is just another advancement. It would be nice to think that the concept of blockchain and cryptocurrency could change the plot and eliminate greed but hmmm, I'm not too sure about that. Even in cryptocurrency there are powe mer players who can manipulate the rest, but hey maybe I'm just a cranky old man who is a little too skeptical.

Sort:  

Yeap I don't think that will change if money is still.. money. But I guess the plus point now is that cryptos are open, permissionless technologies so anyone can innovate on that layer :)
