Throughout history, when using a monetary transaction, in the financial sector or in the day to day banking of any ordinary individual, there has always been the middleman.
In the ecosystem of the blockchain/cryptocurrencies, to eliminate the middleman is to reduce costs of transactions fees, meaning that Bitcoin and eventually other cryptocurrencies essentially does away with the middleman.
In this context, would not the change of the economic landscape also affects the relationships of people in general?
When we observe that people use mail technologies in a wider scale today, the traditional mail, delivered by the famous middleman - the postman - (even so a beneficial one) is considered archaic .
One might argue, but what is the middleman in the sphere of relationships?
Would these consumers ever 'switch' to the digital monetary system of cryptocurrencies?
The technology capabilities that find a proactive solution to cut the middleman in terms of transactions fees, out of the way, will be able to influence people relationships in that deep psychological level?
Questions which am particular unable to answer, but find interesting to observe. Questions to wonder to about this particular individual - the middleman.
