RE: Writing Online: Will the Blockchains Be Able to Keep Their Promise?
Unlike a tree, having 30 different blockchains at the end isn't going to last. They don't all survive. It's more like a tree with 1 or 2 branches, and that's it. Not a very good looking tree, but it survives :P One or maybe two will maintain support, but I think more than that and the rest die off. Maybe the latter ones get the support to stay alive and the original dies, but usually the original source branch has the most push and support to keep going (unless issues like being hacked, which is why ETC is less popular than the forked ETH).
Thanks for your analogy.
Are you @krnel that what we post may not last?
I don't understand that sentence. Can you rephrase?
Correction: @krnel are you saying, "That what we post may not last?"
"Last"meaning remain on the internet.
Anything anywhere can go away. Companies can do down ad their DBs gone, blockchains can die. The internet can be dissolved with an EMT blast...
@krnel thanks! I am looking forward to whatever happens. Never look back. Thanks for clearing this up. I may quote you. So many posts say the blockchain is here forever.
This comment makes it all the more interesting for me.
Interesting analogy. I do think blockchain is the beginning of digital information taking on organic qualities. And like organic beings, it's likely many smaller branches die, to be replaced by other smaller branches in repeating cycles as a few main trunks grow stronger. Eventually even the main trunks die, but if the organic system is working by that time it will have already seeded others that can take its place.
