I think even if Etherium/Crypto Tokens or likewise are the best idea since the typewriter, humans have a staggering way of choosing the worst solutions to problems.

I have a bet on for £1000 with a futurist friend that he say with 10 years half of humanity will have made a transaction on a blockchain and I say not.

My only regret at this stage is that I didn't make the bet in Bitcoin...



How would you even measure that to tell who won the bet?

These tokens might have great potential in third world countries where confidence in central government and justice is low, so your friend has a chance.


I mean, it can't be too difficult to roughly guesstimate the number of individuals using blockchain tech, and if that is greater than half the population your bet is sorted.
