Rambling about technology and cryptocurrencies (and some kind of an introduction)
As I don't like standard introductions, the idea with this first post is not just talking about myself, but also writing a little about my favorite hobbies, related with technology, of course.
My name is Leonel (pronounced "Lionel" in English), also known as Cigano in Brazil ("Cigano" in Portuguese means "Gypsy"). I'm 32 and I live and work in Illinois, United States. I like to say my profession is a hobby that pays the bills and some beers sometimes. My moving to US happened in the end of January 2017, when the snow storms get milder. It's being an amazing experience since then.
One of the best things about living in a country what freedom is a must is the possibility to taste the best of what free competition can offer. Not just cheap food, cars, clothes and other basic needs goods, but also access to cryptocurrencies in a streamlined fashion. It's been two months I started investing fiat money in decentralized virtual money, but studying all the blockchain possibilities is something recent.
As I always say, the need is the mother of invention. When the mythological Satoshi Nakamoto invented and crafted Bitcoin, the blockchain invention overcame the cryptocurrency because the blockchain concept can be used for everything that requires fraud protection and an easy way to auditing the information. I believe not even Mr. Nakamoto had an idea about what he was creating.
Blockchain also made viable theoretical concepts which didn't have implementation so far, like Momentum Accounting and Triple-Entry Bookkeeping (the theory comes from 1989, by Yuji Ijiri), or already implemented concepts but in a centralized way, like the notarial system of each country. As an advanced way to prevent frauds and hacker attacks, the government of Estonia is investing in the blockchain technology.
The impact of this invention cannot be understood right now. I suppose the history books (or maybe internet articles?) will be more accurate in detailing the importance of blockchain invention in the future. An excellent attempt is this overwhelmingly detailed article from Daniel Jeffries about the blockchain and its implications, but I believe the future will demand several adjustments in Jeffries' article.
What I see is many things implementing the blockchain concept: games, databases, lottery, banks, accountancy systems, virtual shops, countries and companies. My friend Daniel França said this is a revolution. More than that, I believe this is our next step in evolution.
In the next articles, I'll focus more in Smart Contracts implementations, mainly in Python and C#, my favorite languages, trying to detail (or just ramble on) these applications I mentioned. For now, I can recommend for the interested people like me to take a look at Nethereum and Pyethereum.
Thanks a lot for your time!
