I sincerely hope that's true. It's certainly a big reason why I stayed on STEEM and now HIVE. We need something that changes the world for the better. I'm hoping that cryptocurrency or even blockchain technology is a significant part of that.
Historically, though, for enough people to be willing to give up what is necessary to actually make things better requires a lot more pain than what I think we've experienced communally so far.
There is no doubt, though, that a great good can come from bad. It happens all the time. It's sad that it takes having the bad happen for so many of us to be willing participants in something good.
The more I focus on the suffering or potential suffering, the less focused I become so my number one struggle is just focusing on doing what I can do right now....not always easy but I try!
