The good news is it’s not too late. We need to look past the allure of financialization and remember that blockchains, as universal timekeepers, can do so much more. The possibilities are almost unlimited. We can enable strangers on different continents to share information and ideas securely, transparently, trustlessly. We can use our favorite apps that have become essential to our lives – but without the anxiety that we might be tracked and listened to. We can chat with strangers on the Internet and enjoy online news with full certainty that it is humans and not bots that we are interacting with. We can rethink money, supply chains, auctions, transportation, corporate voting, and almost everything else. We can make sure promises are kept. We can make blockchains truly indispensable for people around the world.
We’ve Been Thinking About Blockchains Wrong. They’re About Time, Not Money
