Good MAE,
time for another dose of knowledge...
Good SPAC,
You don't give us any doses of knowledge. In most of your posts, you flaunt slogans and vague generalities, sprinkled with a hint of indulgent pity.
Readers of this thread are certainly wondering - why is it that when considering the usefulness of blockchain (in the context of Web3) a hidden desire to promote cryptocurrencies is accused?
I'll answer now. This is due to ignorance, perhaps negative experiences, but also probably fear of the unknown.
This phenomenon is easy to explain.
This is pathetic bullshit and no explanation at all. You absolutely do not know the people on this forum (they know each other poorly, only from their statements). Your whining that forum participants: "are afraid of the unknown, that they had unpleasant experiences, etc." is a phrase often used by frustrated touts when people do not share someone's fixation on a particular topic.
The key word for understanding the problem is the word "value".
O thanks, great priest of secret knowledge, for sharing with us a part of the light of Your great mind. We, the little ones, would never have figured this out on our own.
Blockchain supports some value. And there is no point in hiding it - most blockchain solutions (topology and protocols) are not able to handle more than numerical values representing a cryptocurrency resource. Why is this happening? It's simple - the costs of handling these values are so high that they do not allow for anything more. But this technology is developing. Originally, blockchain supported numerical values, and then pieces of code (smart contract). And for a long, long time the lengths of the dependencies in the speed - scalability - security triangle were extended in various ways. But everything was limited to numerical values that represented different cryptocurrencies. Because that's all the blockchain allowed. Today, the word "value" in blockchain technology takes on a completely new meaning. That is why we can boldly talk about Web3 in the full sense of the word. In modern blockchain solutions, value is not only numbers and SC code, but also frontend, backend code and data that are handled by dAPP web3 (messages, texts, files, databases, libraries and AI implementations).
It may take many years before blockchain is ready for normal use by the average Joe. If it were ready for use, the sharks of the IT world (Google, Facebook, etc.) would already be promoting it heavily. Meanwhile, they are trying to deal with it themselves.
I understand the fear and stereotypical view of this technology, because in fact about 90% of blockchain projects handle numerical values representing cryptocurrencies, but this is changing. In my opinion, ICP is a very mature representative of these changes.
After all, you contradict yourself in this statement. For now, this only applies to cryptocurrencies. And where can I check that this is changing? Did you provide a source where I can find credible information? No? So why the hell are you bothering us here?
So I invite you to participate in this very modern direction of handling our data. It is they that have VALUE that is worth protecting.
The links you provided are some marketing fluff. If it were a specific project (e.g. on Github) and/or decently prepared articles, maybe someone would be interested in it. Meanwhile, you act like a tout for someone else's business. It has no value to society (apart from the owner of that business).
