大多数技术都倾向于把工人自动化，而区块链则让中心的平台自动化。区块链不是让出租车司机失业，而是让 Uber 失业，它让司机可以直接与乘客进行合作。

“Whereas most technologies tend to automate workers on the periphery doing menial tasks, blockchain automate away the center.

Instead of putting the taxi driver out of a job, blockchain puts Uber out of a job and lets the taxi drivers work with the customer directly.”

– Vitalik Buterin
