Your comment is at odds with this statement. Blockchain and smart contracts appeal to those who want lines of code to have the final say in transactions. Most people want our institutions to make those decisions!
- mamon 9y agoCurrent technology is great but still sometimes it fails. It's comforting to know that there's an actual human being that you can talk to and ask them to fix the mistake made by software. That's what makes technologies like Blockchain at odds with human needs: unless you can formally prove that your software does not contain any bugs and therefore does not make mistakes there always has to be the room for manual intervention (like deleting personal data from blockchain).
