    Amazing the huge percentage of people here who believe the lie that technology causes decrease in employment. It causes change in types of jobs, but ALWAYS creates more net jobs.

    false, how can you say that when massive amounts of the population such as in rural china are being lifted out of poverty into middle class with job.

    the world population is growing, yes that means the number of humans who can use tech to create wealth is growing.

    people will get money to eat, clothe themselves and sleep by jobs enabled by tech.

    no, blockchain itself has nothing to do with whether or not identity is exposed. You can hide identity of updaters with *any* database solution by additional tech and software.

    instead it's a poor distributed database solution where each part of the database has a checking mechanism so it can't be altered.

    the problem is, in most business use cases the database MUST be altered for legal reasons. Right to be forgotten, improper information put in fields, illegal information put in fields (such as credit card numbers by accident...

    so blockchain is mostly a poor solution looking for a problem to solve

    utter rubbish, the continued trend on planet earth is for tech to create jobs, create cities, create industries and lift people out of poverty.

    your whining and wailing are based on an unreality between your ears. reality is job and wealth creation. the jobs *change*, that is the only truth. jobs become obsolete but even more are create.

    For 300 year tech has created jobs, at the present is creating jobs, and will continue to create jobs.

    you're inventing sob stories and then extrapolating that to the future. nonsense.

    we're not "running out of places", instead that move fuels construction industry, we make more spaces.

    entire huge junks of the worlds population are being lifted out of poverty by tech. cities and industries are being built, new markets created, tech being put into the hands of people that had no tech.

    this is a technological revolution, and it's ongoing and lifting the human race out of poverty.

    and bringing up Detroit without bringing other areas that have blossomed? the failure of Detroit is only the failure of certain business model that is now obsolete, most people, 2/3 of them left. Lazy unmotivated people looking for handout remain. Proves nothing other than tech helps most and gives jobs to most.
