Why am I here?...
To participate in a blockchain economy (no illusions about riches). I'm fascinated by the theory and technology. Hopefully I can learn a few things and contribute along the way.
Some quickfire thoughts and questions...
- Social media is being demonized as a principal threat to society. How does adding a merkle tree to the equation change the balance?
- Those growing up in a Netflix-only house will have allergic reactions to advertising. Can STEEM provide a model for media consumption without advertising and survive?
- There are a lot of scammy blockchain-related speculators out there giving good things a bad name. How can an ecosystem preserve & promote nobility?
- Blockchain technology promises the 'end of lies', everything is traceable. How can bots/fakenews be held at bay?
- The base appeal and true power of crypto currencies is with the separation of money and state. How can that be protected and leveraged 20 years from now?
...and on and on. Just started browsing here today and seeing the intersection of media and blockchain is FASCINATING.
Please let me know the leading voices to follow (and WHY).
On my side, I'm going to try and write about blockchainy things to answer questions I have. Looking forward to being a part of this.
Thank you so much,
joe
PS - this place has the same vibe as the early days of the web. love that
