The thoughts that this post provokes are true. Society in the 'free' world has been trained through years of controlling our thoughts with messages that seem to promote a better future. We are still in 'clans' but they are designed to keep us oppressed. They separate us by classes. They separate us by races. They separate us by gender and religion and any number of ways to keep us at odds with each other. 'Free thinking' is a misnomer for most. Opinions are formed based on the barrage of information at the moment. The people in control know how to stay in control. That is why the innovative implications of the blockchain worries them. It has the potential to take power from them.
I believe in the power that cryptocurrency is instilling in people. It is the beginning of a new age in the history of man, just as the machine age was. Now the people in control have control of the machines. Which in turn gives them control of society. They can't control cryptocurrency, yet, and that scares the hell out of them. As I see it, that is why so many major companies are investing in blockchain technologies. They want to figure out how to use it to keep their position. We are, right now, at an advantageous point in our history where we have the upper hand because of that. It won't last if we don't 'rally the troops' so to speak and gain the support and voice to keep it that way.
Just my thoughts.
