A philosophical take on Blockchain

in blockchain •  7 years ago 

I thought for a moment I read that Blockchain will never disrupt the status-quo. That made sense to me. I also thought I I read that de centralised technology was not able to redistribute power (you have to play into the social-media market and keep the big boys happy). I also thought I read that power corrupts and this is why blockchain is inherently corrupt because power belongs to relatively dumb masses with their clichés and indoctrinations. But upon rereading your post I discover you are an enthusiast of Blockchain. Arguably you mean the economic model, about which I know nothing, but from this particular platform, I still don't get what is great about it's application: we writers experience no benefits when it comes to new models for community building. (Not to mention how earnings are not at all fairly distributed in accordance with a new status quo). Can blockchain really shake up the world economy? I don't think in numbers (most of the Steemit users don't) but I do sense a big rift between those who think in terms of world economy and those who write up their daily blogs about their life. (And feel utterly powerless.)
I very much appreciate how you wrote out the pros of blockchain in clear language. I am still not very convinced though.
