I think it could potentially change the world as we know it HOWEVER it will also instigate a whole new series of issues - that is what happens when tech evolves, every time without fail

I like to think that blockchain technology is open to anyone who wants to utilize
it and take part in it. Bitcoin wouldn't be this huge and popular if it wasn't for the
continuous support of people throughout the years. Blockchain technology is
more than just an innovation that pave way to cryptocurrency, it also founded and
provided multiple opportunities for people in society and the community worldwide.
It's gonna get bigger and will probably innovate more, it's the future. With the rise
and popularity of social media, it's gonna spread the word out reliably faster and reach
people everywhere.

Yeah and probably the real adoption stage of bitcoin is only started, don't you think?

Many of the international economy's most valuable industries are stagnated by middlemen who dictate costs, timing, and regulation. With blockchain, we can substitute expensive, error-prone intermediary parties for algorithms that never make mistakes and run without human intervention . The result will be a cleaner marketplace that operates more efficiently than conventional models of organization .

I agree, DAO's are probably one of the best things that blockchain created. Let's hope for more decentralized organizations not prone to fail because of central authority!

Your question demonstrates an obvious fact, that you have never gone deeper for existing projects.

When a question is being asked, it's not always because a person is unknowing. It can simply be a question which opens up a conversation...
Enlighten this thread with the projects you know and you might give a more useful response   Smiley

the blockchain technology will no doubt solve lots of shortcomings in our society, am from Africa, Nigeria to be precise, a country characterized by corrupt leaders who manipulates the electoral system for personal gain. Integrating the blockchain technology in our electoral system will fix the issue of rigging and electoral malpractices due to the decentralized and transparent nature of the blockchain technology. The blockchain technology has a lot to offer globally.

Voting is definitely one of the best ways of how blockchain can be used, I agree! Let's hope for a more honest and transparant politic system in the future

I strongly  believe so, the world of blockchain technology is developing pretty well through numerous innovating projects which will certainly change the world for the better. I know with the right implementation, blockchain technology can really solve many social issues.

Voting and governance on blockchains as made some people STUPID ..I will explain..

Tezos wants governance on a the blockchain    Now what is this for?  so it doesn't hard fork YES or NO..But what is stopping someone who understands the code of Tezos
using Tezos code to make his own blockchain?..

And for another crazy thinking with TEZOS   you say you are self amending and you can vote on the blockchain for technology you want  and this is why you have built Tezos..
So the Tezos holders get to decide what technology they should vote for     then decide should they use this technology?..

So how come people have already built and are building without the Tezos communities say so        so what happened to the vote?..

Then you said because it's decentralized anyone can do what they like with it because no one owns it   SO what are you voting on then?..
You see how STUPID you are being?..

You want to vote on something that anyone can build upon without anyone's say so..

EXAMPLE..I want to build a frog game on Tezos i can just build it and put it on Tezos blockchain then what can you do      NOTHING is the answer because it's a decentralized
blockchain remember ..

Now what is the point in GOVERNANCE on a decentralized blockchain that anyone can add what ever they likes too..

Someone said we are decentralized so do what you likes  so a few have done even down to making a new token like ETH   ERC20 tokens to add with Tezos without anyone's say so..

And this goes to all blockchains who claim to hold governance on blockchains   DO YOU REALLY?..

Tezos says it does     but all the RULES they made seems to contradict what the blockchain is suppose to do..

If anyone can add  how do you vote on them not adding it?   i just add it   and if you wont let me i take your code and make my own and call it what i like but will all run like your blockchain BUT with well better ideas   AND yes my ideas are way way better than yours..

Even down to your car sharing   BAD IDEA  good for cabs   but not sharing a car with a friend   say they got a dog  i mess my nice suit up next time i ride in it..
Also what if it breaks down who fixes it   will we both blame each other for the broken car?

Well it was alright when i had it    No but i only went down the road   <<  see how bad that idea is  ..

People have IDEAS for blockchains   BUT up to now they have been very very bad ..You are not seeing the bigger picture  BUt i understand because some of the coders
with their ideas have no clue because they are so young and maybe not lived like i did..

Blockchain tech is already being used in some other projects that addresses social issues in different sectors. I think what we need is to be aware of these projects so we can support them.

See the people i know if you mention " blockchains" they look at you as if to say you boring man Cheesy  I lost friends because of blockchains ..
They thinks i am not going around to his house in case he bangs on about blockchains ..

More interested about football or your local soap program on TV than blockchains ..I try and get them interested by saying you make money BUT still they thinks it's boring
as if to say  I only go to work and get paid in the bank  then spend it on goodies or mortgage who cares for your blockchain..

I had loads of friends till i started going on about blockchains   i only see them few times now Cheesy  Good way to get rid of some though Wink Grin..
Well they might ask me for a loan..

I have the best ideas for this whole space BUT i need to be rich just the same as you AND if you done an ICO  you had no skin in the game REMEMBER you used other peoples
money so were was your skin ?..Your idea was your skin in the game   just like mine will be ..

Blockchain technology will produce a substantial increase in transparency, speed and functionality and reduce the cost of storing personal and social records. and also allows and guarantees that the system can be used for blockchain and synchronized to all blockchain networks. Smiley

No one has better ideas than me why you would use blockchains AND I MEAN NO ONE..

I have my ideas all wrote down     now a human will think of my idea in the end for a fact because everyone thinks of the same inventions just who does it first..
The times will make everyone think the same   like flying cars    spaceships   just who builds it that counts BUT   someone missed out cough TEZOS Cheesy..

Now i cannot code and the people i know don't even want to know about blockchains at all SO   what do i do with my GREAT IDEAS ?..
All written down PLUS   it's not just about me me me   it would involve the many the masses BUT if i told you     you would all be on it like a RASH 

ICO ICO   and i will end up with NOTHING Cry Cry..The guy who invented the www.  is now pig sick he never made any money off it <
See easy to be all giving when you got it but you need to have it to be all nice and giving..

Did bill gates give his ideas for free OR did he make his money off his idea then when he made enough money all his other ideas can be free BUT not the first one he needed to be rich to be nice YES or NO? Wink Wink

If i was rich my ideas would all be free just like bill gates is now like not at first was he like this  Wink..
Remember bill you kept the best idea from IBM  Wink  sold them the shitty one Cheesy   that's another reason why i love him SMART AS FUCK..

One of the unique feature of blockchain is that it can improves accountability and reduces fraud by offering greater real-time transparency across an organization's entire value chain. This then multiply and increase public trust in the organization's capabilities, giving it a more compelling story to tell potential clients and yo attract sustainable funding sources

Blockchain kind of saves us from our own weaknesses, the most notably fickleness and corruption, so it can definitely be considered useful for social good.

Before, governments and authorities were responsible for taking account for problems arising from these traits, and blockchain kind of renders this obsolete because it's harder to be corrupt and fickle in a society based on blockchain.

If we agree that society needs development/improvement in many ways. And we agree that technology is an unavoidable part of the future.

Then how do you see blockchain/decentralization improve life for human beings and society?

I'm curious to hear opinions here. I have my opinions and I work for several projects, but I want to keep my question pure and simple and see what comes up!

Let's build towards a better world

Yes, technology is the future. Agreed. I like the independence and the decentralization Blockchain seems to offer. One thing I can't get out of my head though. If someone steals your Bitcoin, how come Blockchain can't help lead you straight to the thieves? Anyway, I'm sure all will become clear with time.

Yes blockchain is for social good   You join an ICO and everyone who joined becomes social  THEN the devs run with your monies   THEN you become more social because your all social complaining all together Cheesy..  So yes blockchain can be social good..

So look on the bright side if the devs never robbed you       you all wouldn't of been socially complaining..Meet new friends socially complaining  Wink Grin..

I think that blockchain  technology should be adopted  for Land title registration. In my country where land fraud is the order of the day, blockchain will eliminate fraud completely. Also, blockchain solves the problem of manipulation.  In governance, there will be full transparency to elections and decision making.

DLT, carefully implemented, can make it easier for people to gain a digital identity under their control, to participate in free market trade with microtransactions, and to vote where the voting process itself is transparent.

These are all steps.

If a politician buys all the votes in a village, this is another issue.
However, if an individual person can vote, without the politician gaining access to who individually voted for what, then that removes one level of obstacle for free thought.

As people further participate at a grass roots level with exposure to the issues independent of media, find additional ways to help educate their children, and engage in more efficient mechanisms of trade, then these help to create better opportunities and provides checks and balances. There is no golden cure, however magnified many times, it slowly starts to open the economic and social fabric for new possibilities.
