This is surely good news for many people (maybe not the owners of Uber etc).
What are the problems with this way ahead?

Why do you need a 60 million dollar corporation called Uber? You can have a real sharing economy which it would be a distributed application on the Blockchain [...]. The driver just posts an information on the Blockchain, if you need a car you post it there, and the payment system is built automatically. The same is for Airbnb. And this system could be built by small companies

The decentralization of Blockchain smart contracts allows the owner of intellectual property, being it music or any other form of creativity, to retain most of the value he produced, without having to give a big part of it away to mediators, lowering prices for consumers, and maximizing returns for creators. if But if you think about it, it’s not just a matter of money. Such a system also nurturs collaborative creations, crowdsourcing of music or creativity. If you can keep all the money for the creators, and well define how every participating artist is remunerated for his contribution, this would boost trust and will to collaborate on projects. It already happens in many platforms such as Kompoz or Splice, but still you have to trust those platforms. Anything that goes towards democatization tends to create distributed value, and finds me positive.
This is surely good news for many people (maybe not the owners of Uber etc).
What are the problems with this way ahead?
