Well, for the most part, many of those who were calling for change eventually became part of the establishment they were against and corporate and government centralization continued to grow. How did this happen? Well, jobs and family responsibilities often change points of view and money too is a big draw. Will we go back to the status quo this time?
Perhaps not. You see, the blockchain is building sustainable decentralized systems that are not dependent upon a centralized corporation or even government. Once in place, these applications can potentially run for extended periods of time and if set up correctly, without external abuse. Now governments and big corporations are not going away, but for the first time are going to have healthy competition.
What does this mean for you and me? Well, for one thing, we need to jump on board the blockchain train. We need to participate in projects where solid use cases are addressed and improve current traditional systems. And, most importantly, we need to educate others. This is where applications Steemit and Trybe.one are providing solid platforms.
There may never be a winner per se between blockchain and capitalism, but rest assured the value of the blockchain will have a lasting effect in business and government.
