We see in sports how flawed referees are. Will AI take over human referees in the future? If that does happen, some would argue that without human error that the games played would have less disgruntled fans and overall more fair outcomes as well.

On the flip side of that is then wondering who is going to be in charge of the algorithms to dictate what is considered a penalty? Is there a way to prevent
favorable bias in this scenario? I always feel like sports serves as a great analogy when we think through the centralized vs decentralized argument. This all comes back to the trust factor. In a perfect world, none of us have to worry about trust from the get go. Throughout history there always has seemed to be some sort of “referee” one way or another.

#Bitcoin appealed to me early on because of the notion of being able to trust math before worrying about having to put faith in a person. Numbers are very binary, they don’t cheat or lie or have emotions.

So where do we go from here when it comes to anything from sports to social media to how we transact and store money without having constant trust issues? Time will tell as it always does. One thing is for certain, technologies cant be shelved forever, and change is inevitable.
