This writing talks about the importance of decentralized economic systems in the human society of the future. And it is a personal opinion based on my own conclusions.
Currently there is a great push by some groups of Blockchain technology enthusiasts that ensure that the world can change completely as we know it through paradigm changes that this technology proposes from its foundations. People who defend technology from this front are constantly called Marxists or sometimes even Communists. On the other hand there are other tribes of "Traders" who do not even give a shit about what they are trying to do while they keep making money with their "pump and dump" practices, one can find everything in the ecosystem, points in between, extremist and neutrals.
But, more and more within what is labeled "Blockchain" we find regulators, accountants and lawyers, neoliberalists and capitalists who fear for their jobs in the future due to the abolition of the current economic system, therefore of their current lifestyle and so they find any kind of excuse to discredit, dust and even call frauds to anyone who crosses in front of them and does not agree with their activism to preserve current models. I agree that when finding so many "Gold Diggers" in this medium, these conservative groups obtain gasoline to destroy and slander everything that is not part of their group, but it is very clear that these profiles are only defending what for them is the reality of how a society and an economic model should be, since this models have worked very well for them and their families.
But the reality is that many of these groups still do not agree with decentralized systems and cryptocurrencies because they do not see the imminent ultra chaotic reality that is looming if we continue with the current economic system. Leaving aside even the corruption in the centralized systems of the bank / government relationship, we are facing problems of overpopulation, global warming, uncontrolled migration and depletion of renewable resources and we are already very late as a species in the solution.
"Decentralization is undoubtedly linked to cryptocurrencies," said Peter Thiel, cofounder of Paypal and a major shareholder of Facebook. And it is linked beyond the consensus mechanisms that dominate the blockchain networks, which have been called for a long time as the web3. And it is precisely these cryptocurrencies that achieve an economic incentive to keep a community and a Peer to Peer network active.
I would like to base myself on a very common example in the mouth of every Blockchain enthusiast, Facebook ... I think the times have passed when the stimulus of receiving a like and their subsequent release of dopamine for feeling supported and accepted by those people was enough, we began to consume more and more things within the social network, but we failed to realize that at the end of the day we were all participants in building this network, in generating knowledge in it, in creating content that others consumed, in keeping it alive. Much work we have undoubtedly done, and although we have obtained great benefits as a society for this company, it could have been better according to many specialists, without ignoring scandals like Cambridge Analytica, where we realized something that was an open secret , your information, profile, tastes and even confidential information was the currency for giving you an account for free to interact on the platform. And not only that, only in 2017 Mark Zuckerberg and company made 12.9 Billions of profits, a figure that pales before Amazon by Jeff Bezos. And we continue idolizing these characters, because we want to have what they have, when we do not realize that there is another world that dies of hunger, a world of inequality and death and poverty that few turn to see to avoid dealing with the reality where we all coexist

Carlos Toxtli in Forbes also said "The great part of the jobs that we know today are automated and many will be lost in this fourth industrial revolution. All automation generates unemployment "entrepreneur and researcher at West Virginia University.
And in this same article it is mentioned that according to PWC, 45% of jobs are replaceable by technology, that means a spill of more than three trillion dollars. Imagine these millionaire sums being generated in decentralized democratic economies, where we all earn money by creating a publication, a content, a video, a note, by selling our tastes and preferences and that everything we contribute to the network is rewarded by brands and our community. I believe that it is no longer communism to think about this, it is a necessity, because at the pace we have in the next few years there will be so much unemployment that humanity will enter into a slope where all the problems that are already generated by poverty and inequality will be aggravated and they will put us all as a species in a destructive spiral of social degradation.
It is time for governments and everyone as a species to understand the importance of decentralization in the implementation of new democratic economic models where human beings are dedicated to doing what they do best, creating.
And Blockchain, it's the way.
