RE: Bankers Fear They Will Get 'Amazon-ed' In Massive Tech Disruption

in #bitcoin7 years ago

While I like to see the revolution happening I´m concerned at the same time about all the jobs this will destroy after all. Not the big positions in the top but the ones of usual people who are working in your local bank simply receiving and handing out your money.

I think this thing could become a second industrial revolution with a lot of unemployment and huge changes going through our society. But any great change always hurts in the beginning!

You are right of course and that is why we have to do what we can in the way of aiding people in simple onboarding into the tokenized world.

This is why I have become a Steem evangelist. This is what Steem was invented for, right? I try to steer everyone who ask about cryptos away from btc and eth in the beginning and towards Steem.

I also try to break down the inevitability of the tokenized world to skeptics. In fact drawing comparisons between this and the industrial revolution might be useful in the future.

Hi @steembusiness. Typically, with technological/industrial revolutions, we've always seen a massive amount of unemployment because there will be groups of people who don't adjust to change in the market. However, after the recession there is a synergistic phase in terms of laws and growth which allow a "golden age" to form.

You're right, great change always hurts.
