Ooo this is cool, thanks for sharing @futurethinker.

I'm not in the loop with anything that's really going on on Steem so forgive me if I completely miss the mark(s).

It sounds like he's referring to the human/creative link to what decentralised tech, cryptocurrencies and blockchain (and really any technology) can really do. Smart-contracts & decentralised/distributed data systems CAN create trust between peers, and the more trust we have in our systems, the more we are able to create freely, because we don't have to worry about whether things are properly designed or not - "Creative zones are key," when our systems support our best/creative selves, all that's left to do is get in the creative zone and be; this point is largely why I got ridiculously/idealistically excited about decentralised tech when I learned about it a year ago.

Hope you all have a grand time at Steemfest, I'll make it one day!
