Blockchain Revolution

Implications for the Blockchain Economy: Later in the book, we tackle the
issue of the prosperity paradox—how the first era of the Internet benefited many, but
overall prosperity in the Western world for most people is no longer improving. The
foundation for prosperity is inclusion, and blockchains can help. Let’s be clear that
inclusion has multiple dimensions. It means an end to social, economic, and racial
hegemony, an end to discrimination based on health, gender, sexual identification, or
sexual preference. It means ending barriers to access because of where a person lives,
whether a person spent a night in jail, or how a person voted, but also an end to glass
ceilings, and good ol’ boys’ clubs of countless varieties.
