RE: Blockchain and the End of the Western Civilization
After a couple of year in social activism, it became clear to me that real change will only come when we have alternative systems to which people can migrate.
To be honest, I never thought we would have a parallel functional financial system so soon. But it's fantastic that it happened and this will spawn other exits towards a more sustainable future :)
You made some very thorough and valid points. Nice post.
Thank you. I confess I am a bit afraid though - in every success there's the seed of failure - this could turn out well but it really is akin to a knife: you could use it in the kitchen and it's absolutely useful. But one can also use a knife as a weapon and harm people ... I'm afraid it's going to be a close call
Human nature will be human nature even when we will be 250 years old with internet in our brains and nanobots replacing failed organs. There are a lot of shitty people out there and you are correct that this technology can be used for a lot of bad things.
But, on the other hand, we are still here after several decades of nuclear capabilities and that is a positive one :)
