Let me be frank: we live in complicated times, not because of a lack of solutions, but because of a crisis of confidence. In this environment, blockchain technology emerges as a beacon of hope. Think for a moment: most social and economic structures have been built on inherent distrust between people. Whether in employment contracts, government entities or commercial agreements, we seek certainty that what was promised will be fulfilled. This distrust leads us to act from the fear of being betrayed, of our efforts being in vain.

At one end of the spectrum, some argue that technology and progress dehumanize us, that we should return to a purer state, where mutual trust is sufficient and technology and contracts are unnecessary. At the other extreme is the belief that the desire for power is inherent to human beings, that wars and inequalities are the result of our struggle for supremacy and that we need structures that protect us from ourselves.

I see reality as a combination of both perspectives. It is essential that we evolve emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually and that we foster trust among ourselves. But it is also crucial to have tools that provide us with security.
