Hi @Dana-Edwards,

Thank you for the enlightening exposure of how blockchain could be used as an ingredient to improve human interconnection and to match up relationships. Your positive assumptive of value is interesting, someday, I can imagine:

1. Contributors writing specialize algorithms in blockchain contract customized to match specific individuals and groups in society, and providing that service to different niches in the decentralized matching eco-sphere. Imagine an artist/creator who work with pain and adventures of the joys of jealousy (a brunch of cuckolding perhaps?) themed story/graphics....and gets followed by a multitudes of followers privately or openly in their block-chain discord-ques that allows a hybrid of open or hidden connection.

2. Have 100% privacy of knowledge shared and can keep the knowledge private (like a hash/lock on all of one own's portion of contributed data no matter if its in chat/pictures/access-to-follow between one to and another, or one to many) at will and anytime, of course without any centralized knowledge being able to be bought or own by any 1 person. Imagine this being done for a community, a consensus based economic human behavioral network where a group can choose inclusion but evolved so that sub-groups have privacy to grow naturally. Think like elite good looking people dating, forking or splintering to a subgroup that match looks with intelligence, and forks with another subgroup that matches good looks and intelligence with 3some of a patron sugar momma or sugar-daddy with worldly wisdom (think the most interesting man in the world).....and another that softforks to match all 3 with a great cook...haha (why not) :)

Using a creepy example to illustrate, 1 & 2 alone will change the dynamics of how mild-stalking/admirers works on social media, where even stalkers/lurkers need to add value which will not work with true privacy for the stalker/lurker/adored-target in places like facebroke...and I can see how this will reduce/change the allure of centralized networking in favor of a decentralized one.

There is a need to be a common group of desire off set with convenience we have yet to identify, and in this agreed like mindedness of the pioneers (like Steemians) to progress forward....then this change may be here to stay. We are all evolving in knowledge, changing our choices, so it would be interesting to see a blockchain as a support technology that allows a system to innovate in pace with the face of changing definition of humanity.

Ok...why am I writing this? Oh yeah, I think you should do a repost of this and somehow include some of the deeper points in your understanding and perhaps even add some of these hair-brain ideas in the comments/reply to nurture a deeper discussion.

I really enjoy reading your respond....well done.
