I like how you approached the topic and opened the discussion instead of closing it. I also find that the question of @nathen007 was not entirely unjustified, though. The cryptographic scene is by its very nature very technical and the provision of technology coded by programmers. I wonder what this does with our mindsets at all if we are to understand more and more complex technology. That plays an immensely large part of our lives beside the crypto scene.
According to my understanding, economic systems only have a chance of survival if they allow a systemic view. Didn't every civilization outlive itself and collapsed from a certain point in time? What do you think was the reason for this?
What kind of system do you consider the Blockchain and Steemit.com? Would you say that the survival of this crypto-based system requires a connection, so you need to see what impact it has on biological, sociological and cultural processes?
I've already asked myself these questions, but I'd like to hear your possible answer. You're already suggesting that there are bigger powers and influences that we don't see now. But couldn't we shed a little more light on it?
Perhaps as that’s just part of the evolutionary process - breakdown of the old to give way to the new. Change is inevitable - all form transmutating through time, adapting to new conditions, progressing through nature’s cycles. As consciousness evolves, so shall societies reform to reflect the expanded dimensions we explore.
Innovative. Experimental. Revolutionary. Transformational. Badass. Haha!
I wouldn’t. frankly, I feel that question comes from an over analytical perspective weighted perhaps overly heavy in logic. What NEED to see would there be? Might be waiting a long time for whatever “evidence” you’d need to assess, which would probably be well-beyond the scope of thorough analysis - not sure any of that would be particular constructive, versus just taking the tools, running and creating with them.
Difference in perspective: waiting to see what impact it has, versus being the designer and architect, writing the story and developing the applications for directing that outcome.
