| this is way to simplistic. "Blockchain" as "AI" or other sufficiently popular concepts are mere projects spaces of peoples hopes and fears. A question now may be: can this "Blockchain" Idea give rise to technology which in turn helps people to coordinate better? Its really interesting there projects who mandate for more transparency through blockchain and then there are projects who ride on "everything" should be private. The answer to such problems very seldom lies in extremes but in the mediation between possible options. Many Ethereum projects but also IPFS now finally offer tangebile (beta) products. In many traditional metrics they are lagg behind mainstream projects. But since decentralization over centralization and collaboration over competition are real values interesting things begin to emerge. Now I could be counting to 3 until the next person jumps here on and (projects his values or antagonist dreams on this) says capitalism is it and socialism was the worst thing in history!!!111 But maybe a room can grow which is neither capitalism nor socialism but yet better. So lets start to ponder , some impossible thoughts - using this blockchain thing. Building better technology - finding better ways to coordinate with people - in the real world. Through digital technology but not only limited to or by it. |
