Blockchains like Ethereum are the new free internet. As a software developer you can appreciate the beauty of designing it to be decentralised and trustless - maybe more expensive and resource intensive - but the right way to do stuff for certain highly important things. I think of it as the rise of protocols, - not companies.
Gimp? On a tablet? That was a good one. And linux on tablet? I'll wait for linux on desktop first. People are going to love solving problems in a console on a tablet for sure.
walled garden of green indirectly controlled by the communist government! could you imagine hitler and stalin working with apple? beautiful cooperation, would make things truly great! i am sure the communists will try to make it great too!
That was ages ago and the tech stock market has already greatly surpassed that all time high. It was a bubble but the idea that tech and Internet is so valuable was correct.
Now look at crypto's bubble that has already burst. It seems like the history will repeat itself. This is the third Bitcoin bubble that has burst. Bubbles come and go repeatedly. It's just price speculation - the underlying tech is unaffected.
Why is a tech site like slashdot full of tech people constantly bashing blockchain? I remember everybody bashing Bitcoin here since the beginning. Isn't this some kind of a new technology circlejerking denial?
It doesn't disappear - it is just a immutable record saying that you own the property - unlike paper/central DB designs where this data can be changed so your ownership can disappear. Does it make sense to use blockchain from this perspective? I think so...
How is central DB secure when admin or a hacker can change records? That is the whole reason why you want to go blockchain for mission critical data. Hackers can't change it on blockchain because it is immutable by design.

What about tsunamis?
not that I disagree - but - there are decentralised exchanges (DEX) - you should be able to swap tokens/coins p2p

Crypto is the alternative. We are building the new internet on the principles of distributed consensus. That's why crypto is such a game changer.
I agree. There is so much innovation in cryptos but we get only boring articles like this.
Not this tulip bullshit again. Do we always need to see the retarded tulip trolling over and over again?
If you think Bitcoin is a scam you are an idiot.
bitcoin is dead indicator is the most reliable, buy now, thank me later
It's new so must be bad.

So much hate. So much retardation.
Lol, EU does not need to ask permissions how to tax countries selling to their consumers.
Yes Bitcoin is worthless that's why they are banning it.
Locking people in with no way of installing unapproved apps makes Apple even more evil than Google!

What are you talking about? It's a startup that got successfully funded. Maybe 9 out of 10 fail but this is how we make progress - by trying.
it's the new bubble that blockchain is a bubble!
so you are saying that computer and internet are in bubbles? maybe you should stop drinking that everything is a bubble mentality cool aid.
