People need time to understand and accept the idea that the world where middlemen don’t exist is possible and that technology is already here in form of clever code that is blockchain.

Managing own data, security, and assets seem like a very scary thing in the beginning since people are so used to middlemen handling things for them in return of their personal information. Information that the middlemen sometimes are unable to protect or even sell further for the right price. People get concerned only when something bad happens other than that some might even prefer intermediaries, trusting blindly and being half asleep.

Hell I remember going to a bank over a year ago, not even aware of the world where I would not have to wait in line or provide my identification to move funds around and paying them fees for it existed. It was normal and “how things are done”. Now dealing with beraucracy, setting appointments and things seem so irritating, slow, outdated and unnecessary. I wish blockchain was in everything to speed up the processes.

Hopefully in future, the beautiful idea that we don’t need to rely on anyone will catch on as the more easy or simple ways to use it develops, people will wake up and it will become the new norm.
