Today,
when
we
get
into
a
car,
we
all
fasten
our
seatbelts.
In
the
United
States
alone,
it
is
estimated
that
seatbelts
have
saved
almost
400,000
lives.
And
yet,
when
Ford
first
offered
seatbelts
as
a
feature
in
1955,
they
were
unpopular:
in
1956,
only
1
in
50
people
paid
for
them.
It
didn’t
matter
much
to
the
success
of
Ford.
After
all,
people
needed
cars,
and
weren’t
discouraged
by
safety
factors.
By
contrast,
those
of
us
in
blockchain
today
desperately
need
to
convince
people
to
use
this
technology,
show
its
relevance
for
previously
unimagined
use
cases,
and
reassure
them
it’s
safe
to
do
so.
In
other
words,
welcome

your
Escape
Hatches
are
located
here,
here,
here
and
here.
Enjoy
the
ride.
