RE: Blockchain: the revolution we’re not ready for

in #story7 years ago

Ha ha, Angelfire. For people who were not around in 1995, this is what the Internet looked like: http://www.angelfire.com/super/badwebs/
Angelfire

This is no joke.

Indeed, think of blockchains being another but much more efficient manner of extending the natural boundary of men, being a number of about 150 people that one single person can socially maintain around him/her, unless men use tools to extend that network.

We already have a lot of tools to do this. But not a clever tool that creates decentralised trust over the Internet. The most obvious application is Internet currency. Bitcoin as the Internet of Money. And now we are gradually seeing other types of applications, like Steemit, BitShares, Ethereum and countless of other variants.

In that respect, we may well still be in the ages of Angelfire, Tripod and Pegasus e-mail. A lot of coins/apps will vanish and only the strong (useful) will survive.

Sort:  

To my knowledge EOS which is like a blockchain operating system is trying to create decentralised trust within the EOS system, a fascinating challenge that will change the world if they figure it out.
