Where love awakens, the ego dies, the dark despot.
(Rumi 1207 - 1273, poet and mystic)
Dating apps have taken the world by storm in the last decade. The odyssey to love, happiness and partnership has always been an insatiable human need. It was the inspiration of love that created the Taj Mahal, and it was the devotion to a woman who broke through the walls of Troy. Hundreds of years ago, the peoples of the earth sought out platforms to seek the love of their lives, such as royal court ceremonies, jousting tournaments, where the lords of creation displayed their daring and bravery, while the simple man did Benevolence of his church community used for it. This changed with time and so it came in the wake of the Enlightenment as well as the book printing to the width in the newspapers use advertisements for it. In the 80s of the last century, a time when Michael Jackson became famous and the first mass-capable Comodore II computer took the world by storm, people discovered teletext on TV. With the advent of the Internet in the nineties, dating platforms of all kinds became very popular as the masses rushed to make these platforms serviceable. The Internet made business possible like never before. For many people this was a blessing as they did not dare to address a person in public so easily, numerous individuals have found their fate in the most remote countries as well as in the wildest places in the world and have never opened up an alternative to it previously given in human history. However, this has also brought with it risks, many people have personally experienced privacy was one of the most important issues, especially in this industry in which for many users anonymity and security played a central role.
Over time, the phones became more and more intelligent and the peoples more and more mobile, which led to the development of apps, in which the hard-working citizens in a globalized and faster-spinning world could now continue their search in the 5-minute break.
The technological changes take place at ever shorter intervals so that we are already on the verge of a subsequent quantum leap.
Every development solves another problem that society had previously faced. While in the beginning such platforms were not accessible to everyone, in newspapers every person could find access to love, even in the most remote regions. Using teletext, this process was accelerated and globalized with the Internet as well as it led to independence.
The next step is determined by the blockchain, which can guarantee anonymity, absolute security and effective protection of the data. One of the biggest basic needs of many people, especially given the current situation, is that our data is resold like goods to businesses, individuals or even secret services. Often, these legitimations are hidden and packed in infinitely long terms in which there is no human, this can ever read through.
From this context, it can be seen that transferring such services is not only the next logical step in the process of progress, but that this tendency consistently adapts to the need of a society that places more and more emphasis on individuality, security and anonymity.
Currently, there are several dating platforms that are currently in the ICO phase and want to do pioneering work in this area.
Hicky, Luna and Viola are already a defining feature in this dynamic and have the potential to become the Lovoo and Tinder of Blockchain.
Since the Blockchain technology is already in the mouth of all companies, it is safe to assume that this jump will not idly pass by the already existing central platforms. For example, Hicky uses Tinder's expertise to advance his vision. Whether Lovoo or Parship will scale this step by means of its expertise is still unclear. However, it should be clear that, firstly, those who take the first step enjoy a great advantage, which will certainly pay off in the future.
The chart below lists the most important ICO candidates with their strengths and weaknesses.
It is clear that the Tinder connection pays off. Whether Hicky can enforce you even after the ICO will turn out to be over time.
What comes after the blockchain?
The development of artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly dominant. In the foreseeable future, computers will be more intelligent than humans, with more than 50% of all jobs over the next 30 years being taken over by machines. A hyper intelligent machine world which develops decentralized on the basis of the blockchain itself? Virtual companies or programs whose boards consist of Artificial Intelligence which exist only in the network as well as their only task is to serve humans?
Where will our position be? How will morality and human values change in the distant future? Maybe it will not be so outlandish to claim that people can then feel love for a machine and maybe even marry her? Maybe we are facing the formation of the third kind or will the story take a different turn?
