Blockchain to Become the DNA of AI

Blockchain’s evolution is already written in history and science. It will fuel a major change in human habits, a great clash of ideology and ultimately, become the way AI propagates on its own.

Money took about 2000 years to evolve from sea shells and metal coins to paper. Before that, it was all barter trade and hoarding precious objects like gold.

But even after paper money was invented in China around 800–900 AD, and Marco Polo introduced it to Europe in 1290 AD, it didn’t go into the mainstream until Sweden started printing it in 1661 AD. In between this period, commoners still trusted gold and silver coins more, since paper money could be forged or excessively created by regimes.

It then took almost three more centuries before the modern credit card was invented in 1950 by the founders of Diners Club.

Blockchain as a habit

Today most folks in the developed world has a credit or debit card. Clearly the evolution of money had quickened in pace. But it still took decades before people had faith in transacting with something that required only a signature and a plastic card that could be lost quite easily.
