All too often, humanity falls into a pattern of thinking – and doing that loses its effectiveness over time. We tend to cling to the path of least resistance, stagnating as we hold on to outdated ideas.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the changes we need to make in our thinking in order to be able to swiftly embrace a future in which blockchain will probably play a key role.

We see more and more people question the validity of their governments, the monetary systems as it currently exists, the way in which data is secured by companies like Facebook and the list goes on.

Despite these two things going hand in hand a lot of the time, decentralization and trust each have some singular points that can help shape our thought patterns into something more logical and blockchain-ish.

Trust

The trust factor is something that has long since gone out the door when it comes to things like ‘revolutionary technology.’

With the likes of Elizabeth Holmes making unbelievable blood testing technology claims and the founder of electric car company Nikola using fake videos to show off their incredible EV technology, it is no wonder that people are slow to jump on board with the latest fad.

With all these scammy things going on in the…
