All these operating systems currently are fighting for control to be the operating system of your life.
Some like iOS by Apple, Android by Google, and Windows by Microsoft have been pushed onto the mainstream through money, power, and influence to take over the collective mobile & desktop marketplace.
Then you have Linux which is an open-source OS that is used in everything from mobile, to desktop, to more frequently in the IOT (Internet of Things).
And then you have EOS created by Dan Larimer and team as the decentralized operating system with the goal to decentralize everything.
One of these will be the dominant operating system of life in the future. The OS that is the foundation of your life from social media to medical records to running your favorite applications.
Why will EOS reign supreme as the operating system of life?
REASON #1: EOS eliminates the friction for developers
EOS is a hosting environment for decentralized apps (dApps).
That means anyone can write code and publish it to the blockchain and run it on the blockchain without needing to ask permission.
Developers and developer teams can access this operating system with no to little friction. This is a huge improvement over Apple and Google's centralized operating system which require developers to jump through hurdles and waste valuable time just to just their application on these app stores.
Not to mention content creators and application developers will not have to worry about losing 33% or more of their revenue to Apple and Google who control these centralized operating systems. So developers and content creators will now be able to retain more of their funds just by simply hosting their app on EOS.
Less hurdles to jump for developers + more money in developer's pockets = much less friction for developers who use EOS as their operating system of choice
REASON #2: EOS has the speed and technical capabilities to host any application
Developers and users of apps have high expectations. They expect speed and efficiency in their user experiences, especially when monetary transactions are being made.
Apple and Google are using the "old way" of hosting apps, not incorporating blockchain technology. Apple Pay on the blockchain? Nope. Android Pay powered by blockchain? Not yet.
So the fact that EOS is built to handle hundreds of thousands of transactions per second from the beginning, will have developers and users going nuts because they can actually build & use the application as they want to.
And with all this talk of net neutrality and controlling bandwidth in the United States, wouldn't it seem that the operating system built with bandwidth decentralized yet still have the ability to increase bandwidth capabilities would be the winning OS.
Through its currency EOS, the OS allows developers to increase their bandwidth based on their investment (EOS tokens) in the network.
O you want to make sure your app users get an epic viewing and using experience. Just increase your bandwidth capabilities and BAM your application has enough bandwidth to deliver an epic experience.
Try controlling the amount of bandwidth your app has with the Apple App Store of the Google Play Store. Yikes.
Fast speed + superior technical capabilities = a decentralized OS that can actually handle & deliver developer's applications
REASON #3: EOS keeps the control in the developers and users
While Apple and Android have highly centralized flows of data, they have the ability to shut down an application at a moment's notice because of any numerous reasons. Just Google the list of recent apps shut out of the Apple App Store for not fitting Apple's standards for apps.
That centralized power is dangerous especially when shutdowns of applications can results in many negative outcomes for the developers and users.
The nature of EOS's decentralization is that it allows itself to settle contract and other disputes & conflicts based on the smart contracts in place. This removes the power of these centralized power authorities such as Apple and government organizations to arbitrate and in some cases freeze/halt application and accounts.
Allowing for self-resolution & arbitration through smart contracts + removing centralized power = more control for the individuals who create and use these apps
The mainstream already knows iOS and Android as popular operating systems of life. It is only a matter of time until they are just as familiar with EOS as an epic alternative.
The macro trends of decentralization, payment transfers, and application development is screaming for a decentralized alternative to these centralized power houses of Apple and Google.
An OS that delivers a friction-less experience for developers and users.
An OS that delivers an epic experience for both users and developers that meets our rising expectations.
An OS that gives the control back to the developers, content creators, and users.
EOS is this OS.
Only a matter of time until the mainstream recognizes EOS as the go to app environment.
And then it will be iOS, Android, and EOS.
Thank you for your time and attention. Hope this information about EOS helps bring value to the community.
Appreciate you.
