RE: Steem: Softforking, exchanges, security and mining ninjas

As much as the chain and platforms want to believe, I don't think there's any way to simply code our way out of human biases and error. The more this place develops, the more it sounds like it's just kind of being run by a government entity: You vote for people you trust to do a good job, you vote them out when they suck.

But like governments, there are always caveats to the rules set in place (just look at Trump's Impeachment stuff; an ocean of grey areas) that enables them to continue doing things you don't like - within reason.

I think we are being naive if we think we can iron out all the faith-based elements of the blockchain and just have this pure, robotically rational force driving us to utopia

Sort:  

I think the blockchain communities that succeed will have the most hard-coded protection for rights such as freedom of speech and secure wallets, but as you say it is on the community to form a governance that represents their values.
