RE: The blockchain revolution and the end of trust
Blockchain will definitely be a leader in ushering in a new way of thinking by creating an environment where trust is as you say natural. The trust and transparency is what attracted me to STEEM and Steemit. Thanks for the post! Resteem
I’m not sure how I feel about the trust aspect. I stumbled upon a post that scientifically, and in detail, debunked another post putting out a load of vaccination misinformation. The misinformation post itself attracted at reward in excess of $200.
If I were to stumble upon that post, should I trust it? Poster reputation and reward implies yes, however the wider picture implies no.
As such, blockchain is merely a mechanic here, trust is not an inherent element of it.
I would have to agree @fourfourfun. I have only been here a a few days and seen my fair share of poster that apparently are in dire need of new hearts, lungs and neuticles. Granted most don't have a large reward, but it goes to show that trust is more an illusion even on the blockchain.
