Elon Musk Tweeted "What should be developed on Ethereum?" Sparked A Conversation With Vitalik Buterin.
It started with his usual one word tweet, "Ethereum", Elon Musk started the said twitter conversation on April 29. He swiftly responded it with an ironic reply of "jk" which was saying that it is meant to be a joke . A serious conversation followed through though, when Vitalik Buterin replied with an invitation to the October Ethereum Devcon. The the question coming from Elon popped out asking “What should be developed on Ethereum?”
These are Vitalik's reply:
My top picks (1): * A globally accessible financial system, including payments, store of value, also more advanced stuff like insurance http://hurricaneguard.io/ * Identity: "sign in with Facebook" -> "sign in with an ethereum account, no intermediaries". Also web of trust...
All sorts of registries should publish on chain for security and easy verifiability, see my thread on this https://twitter.com/vitalikbuterin/status/1072158957999771648 … * Experimenting with new forms of human organizational structure, eg. @MolochDAO * All sorts of micropayment use cases via payment channels...
Markets for personal data for privacy preserving machine learning (you pay me X, I let you homomorphically execute function Y on my data that's been attestated to by Z...) * Cryptoeconomics for spam prevention in social networks
Cryptoeconomics / micropayment schemes to reward publishers of good content * Testing ground for new market designs, eg. frequent batch auctions, combinatorial auctions, automated market makers (eg. http://uniswap.exchange ) * Stickers/badges
p2p marketplace for internet connections / incentivized mesh networks * Identity, reputation and credit systems for those that currently have few resources (eg. refugees) * Decentralized DNS alternatives (eg. http://ens.domains/ )
This short conversation between two popular personalities sparked a price surge on Ethereum values. People are speculating that there could be possible collaboration between Tesla and Ethereum in the near future. Who knows? There should be wonderful product when two bright minds such as Vitalik's and Elon's collide and work on something.
