That shower was nice. It was needed. Not because I was dirty, but because it was very relaxing. I haven't been posting much lately, although I have made just 3 recent posts, during this CUB launch period.
I haven't been posting because I have been busy. Very mentally busy this week, staking, transferring, swapping, wrapping, pairing, farming, rereading and rereading. It takes a lot to energy and focus learn something new, which is why most people won't try it. Rarely do people leave their comfort zone, but I do this all the time. I constantly try to push myself, and learn things I have never known before.
Cryptocurrency is exciting to me. Very exciting. This is for a few reasons, firstly, as someone who discovered p2p music in high high school, I saw how it revolutionized music distribution. I also saw how it threatened the entire music industry, and now two decades later live in a world where music is banned in youtube videos, yet you can find almost any song on youtube. Few buy physical CDs anymore, but new streaming services like spotify have filled a much needed void, and capitalized on the shifting times.
Along came BTC in 2009 and slowly, things started to change, but now more than a decade later we see that monumental shifts are occurring and old ways of doing things are becoming more outdated. Like going all the way to a store and buying a physical CD that is going to wear out after a few years, and not play properly. You can just instantly buy that one song you love, and it will work forever. Unless you are just a subscriber, in which case when your membership runs out. The comparison between music wavelengths and the the financial system only go so far however.
Although p2p money and p2p music are completley different, we can draw similarities and seeing how the music industry has changed since the napster days, we might be able to predict a few of the changes that are coming now that control of money has been decentralized. Like napster, they will continue to spread rumours about how dangerous it is, until they get enough support to try and ban it. Other file sharing services like limewire quickly took napsters place, they couldn't really stop it. Even with the inherent risks that came with viruses, or downloading an incorrectly labelled album, people continued to utilize the concept of p2p money even when the initial platform went down.
Stopping technological innovations once they are let out of the bag is extremely difficult. Even if BTC were to be banned, it could be forked and you could have BTC-blue through BTC-magenta. Originally some speculated we could have coloured coins and I think some might exist along these lines. However we are not seeing an absolutely astounding variety (to say the least) of crypto coins, and if one goes down, a thousand more pop up in its place. There are now too many cryptos to count.
Suggesting that Bitcoin is going to fail, its hilarious because you have to be joking.
I spent the last three days basically focused on learning this new CUB defi platform. I had a series of adrenaline rushes while wrapping LEO into bLEO. It is probably the most exciting project I have seen so far this year, next to LeoFinance, yet I know there is even more to come. I know it isn't "the best thing ever" but I think it is really cool. I get excited over being able to put some HTML in a Hive post, so maybe it is just me, but you are here too so maybe I am not alone.
I streamed live for about 3 hours today with a guest , on CoffeeTalk, but other than that I wasn't mentally focused enough to sit and compose a post, until just now. Now the day is nearly done.
Sir, your CUB-BNB Leo Pancakes are ready...
