I don't how a car works but I can think of plenty of ways a car can be useful.
This is the mindset of this post.
The simplest way I can explain what you can do with Blockchain technology is this:
"With Blockchain you can create trust between two or more parties over the internet without a third party."
Now, the first thing that people thought of to do with this amazing technology was to create a currency.
They named it Bitcoin.
For the first time in history, it was now possible to send a currency over the internet to anybody in the world without a third party (most likely a bank). Faster and cheaper than ever before and all trusted by Blockchain technology.
It was awesome.
But the idea of trust over distance has already far surpassed a currency.
The Steem blockchain for instance, where I am writing these words right now, creates that same trust between all of us without a third party.
When you read this post, you know it's me that wrote it. Yet there is no third party (like Facebook or Youtube) to guarantee that this is true.
The blockchain provides this trust and nobody owns it.
This is literary mind-blowing stuff.
Blockchain Technology will eliminate so many third parties and it's only just beginning.
I talk about it more in my vlog.
I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.
We build Steemify a notification app for your Steemit account for iOS.
Get it Here:
▶️ DTube
▶️ IPFS
I do understand the concept to some degree. But my questions are; who for example owns steemit.com and who are the head decision makers who choose for example the design of the website, where all the components go? Who decides where the advertising money is spend and so on? How does a place like steemit become a reality without without a leader?

Steemit.com is just a frontend to visualize and interact with the steem blockchain. It's owned by Steem Inc. There are many different frontends build by others (busy.org, chainbb ect). The blockchain itself is owned by none. Hardforks (changes to the blockchain) come from Steem inc. but have to be approved by the witnesses who are voted in place by the community.

You have one talent - at least! - making complex things sound simple. Many of the people I talk about the blockchain with can not wrap their heads around the idea that no one owns it..

Earlier our own money was dependent upon the trust of a third part and with the introduction of blockchain and cryptocurrency the third party is eliminated and we are the owner and authority of our own money...no need to beg in front of banks for our own money...
Long live blockchain and cryptos...
Have a great day @exyle

That's an interesting analogy you've got right there. This makes it really easy for beginners to understand. Thus will allow them to realize that not all altcoins are bitcoin rip offs. From there you can decide to dig deeper on how blockchain works or how it can be applied in other fields. I wish I knew that when I started backing in March.

Excellent post, well you really describe gracefully the benefits of blockchain technology, yes we all want freedom we are born free and this is our right to live free as well why we deposit and sent our hard earned money to those banks and then they start putting hidden charges on it and also start controlling our money and we are no longer in a condition of use it freely, we have a far better option available now to save and sent our money in shape of blockchain and especially through steem blockchain and by doing this we also have a full control in our funds no middle man use our funds for his own sake, the future of blockchain technology is so bright and we surely see more developments and growth in blockchain with the passage of time, thanks for sharing your nice thoughts with us, Stay awesome.

Exactly.

World is spoilt with many middle man acting on it, increased level of corruption as the ppl on power tends to award project or ownership to these middle man who is willing to take extra care on the ppl who is on power..
Blockchain interestingly being adopted on government level, amidst the conundrum that would be faced by government on act of adoption.. the future for ppl upon government adoption on full is mind blowing..
just think about voting which is un-tamperable, which eliminates middle men counting votes which can be very questionable on act of trust, this unleashed true party comes to power to do only good things to ppl, thinking they cant mess around for next election since voting system is running on blockchain.. :) this is still shallow on blockchain application, but enough to do massive betterment for the society overall.. good thoughtful post.. thanks @exyle

You at least seem to be spending a decent amount of time discussing things that aren't JUST "how can i play this situation to get rich", which is good to see. I get extremely frustrated seeing the amount of total processing power and intelligence, being "Invested" in "NOTHING MORE" than trying to take an amazing technology, and to use it to pull out as much profit as can be taken, from people with less understanding.
If there was any invention not originally designed to foment the generation of massive profits for some, one would think it would be the blockchain,
but in reality, so far, DAMN, trillions of processing cycles an hour are being spent on "NOTHING".
As far as i can tell in regards to blockchain, at present, it is the worlds MOST EXPENSIVE and ENERGY WASTEFUL accounting ledger in HUMAN HISTORY.
The blockchain tech IS great, but i can't wait until we begin to get to a point when this tech actually makes a DIFFERENCE, instead of sucking up millions of hours of genius a day, seeing people try to play other people.

I'm a fan of it from what i know. Biggest problem right now is the fact that i absolutely CANNOT create an incredibly high quality overall mountain of content, and THEN bring people who are of the right mind type, to spend time going through it, voting for what they really like.
If i do that, i get NOTHING. [i'm not here for the money, but it seems still ridiculously imbalanced, and i see shit tons of votes being put up for videos, when there's no way that the voters could have even watched more than moments of the video]
I would LOVE to talk about what it is that you "Know" and "Think" of the entire cryptosystem and cryptocrazy in general. I'm infinitely more ignorant than you, but i think conversations between disparate viewpoints can really bring up the most important stuff.
Thanks for responding. Is there a way to get notifications for replies? I always have to go back and scroll through "replies".

I totally agree with you @exyle that blockchain creates trust. You can send crytocurrency to me, I can send it to you as well and to think that we dont't know each other physically. And we can send crypto to anywhere in the world WITHOUT any 3rd party is simply amazing. Mind boggling it is. This is one of the best thing that happen this century!

Nice post. I've been commenting for some time now, and it seems I've stopped getting an upvote from you, and I don't really know why.
But I sure enjoyed this particular post. I know that all the data we input here on steemit is stored on the blockchain, but I did not know how it was done.
Thanks to your post, I now know why it's being used, because it creates trust between two parties who necessarily don't see each other.
But I'll like to know who created blockchain?

It's a good idea to mention your mindset when we engage in discussions around the blockchain with our family, friends and acquaintances - especially those who are mildly curious, somewhat overwhelmed, cautiously sceptical - often all at the same time.
I'm sure the blockchain will transform our lives at an increasing rate in the very near future!

@exyle BEST POINT I'VE READ ALL MONTH!!!
Everybody is being skeptic about the blockchain because they don't understand how it works or because they can't comprehend it. Yet, none of them know how their cellphones operate! The vast majority are far from capable of describing how it's possible to communicate with another person remotely, through a device. Or even how their computer works. Guess what? It's not necessary!

I always had one question in my mind and let me ask it here. When we transfer crypto from one account to another, it involves exchanges like bittrex and they also charge if you want to transfer. Yesterday, I transferred some BTC to my friend and they charged 0.005 withdrawl charges. Not quite getting the concept how it’s different from banks as they too charge for transactions.
