If you thought the social media phenomenon created these anti-social brain-dead people looking at their smart phones day in day out, wait until they get paid for doing it!

Even just with these 3 for now, I can truly see the future where financial inclusion is coming along on a global scale. Making money by simply browsing, commenting, or posting is easy enough. How about getting rewarded for posting your lavish lifestyle in selfies. I'm almost sure someone out there is cooking Instagram on Steem, then maybe call it Steemgram. Seems catchy enough.
Scenario 1
No need to fear Artificial Intelligence and automation stealing our jobs. Our livelihood and economy will shift to trivial digital activities like playing online games, keyboard warrior comments, and posting vines, rather than industrial and manual work. AI development can be lumped up on a supercomputer blockchain (Golem) is even worse. when everything is said and done, a true generation of mostly brain dead idiots comparable to that in the film "Wall-E" will roam the earths. Einstein was a genius to be very afraid.
Scenario 2
We develop this Utopian version of the world because of blockchain. Financial inclusion goes 100% of the world population and wealth evenly distributed. This in turn allows idealists to start a movement of anti-currency and a currency-less world emerges. Everyone's food, education, healthcare, housing needs are catered to and we can all choose to live the lives we like. And since humanity has shaken off the burden of fixing the old issues of capitalism, we can partake whether to make an impact by furthering our freedom through research on space exploration, free energy, teleportation, and whatnot. Although, when there is no incentive to do hard work, who's to say Scenario 1 is far from the truth.
Which one of the 2 do you think is more likely? Of course, the world does not run in black and white. A mix between the 2 scenarios will likely take place and 100% financial inclusion may not be achieved but we might come fairly close because of blockchain.
