RE: Cryptocurrencies are Science Fiction!
The technology for Bitcoin had been around for almost a decade so in reality it could have been invented much sooner. All the pieces were there waiting to be pit together, bit of course it took Satoshi Nakamoto to think of doing it. But of course his real stroke of genius was not Bitcoin but the blockchain. That was unique and never seen before in history.
Just as a point of knowledge that not so many people know is that the MAIDESAFE network, which is still being built, and has its own "alt coin" MAID, was invented 5 years before Bitcoin.
But yes for sure Blockchain tech is definitely from a sci-fi future.
True enough... there would most likely be no Bitcoin or other alt. coins without the blockchain... Bitcoin just happens to show up as the openly visible manifestation. Now it makes me wonder if those "alien worlds'" virtual credits are also blockchain based. Or (if I were to put on my conspiracy theorist tinfoil faraday-cage hat) of the blockchain is based on alien tech?
Didn't know that about the MAID coin... I've seen it mentioned here and there, but really know nothing about it.
