How could one talk about the decentralized internet and not mention Urbit or Ethereum? The most ambitious and most likely attempts at decentralizing the internet respectively.
People who believe in conspiracies or who obsess about the Bilderberg group are not work paying attention to. It's an unprofitable rabbit hole of poor critical thinking. Read A Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan to better understand critical thinking and how to avoid pseudoscience bullshit and conspiracy theory blabble.
You know, you give me hope, but just look around you. Why cant Vitalik Buterin answer a simple question? That question is soooo important. If you didnt catch it, watch it again. Also, why has Putin already started to itergrate ETH in their economy?
What I think is that all this crypto is just a learning tool for the ones who got in early. This will allow them to each the others when they HAVE to integrate into this digital monetary system that is forming around us.
Once this is implemented the Elites will have us by the balls.
Good point... Scary indeed.... Will any cryptos be safe from this all seeing digital economy? Are the likes of Monero and other 'anon' cryptos truly safe to use as an 'off-the-grid' user?
You see what happened to ETH right after I posted this? People should have taken notice on several fronts: 1. ETH was worth $7 in Jan. 2. It is our enslavement. 3. It will turn into the ·System of the Beast." 4. It is the "Internet of Things!"
I have to say, many conspiracies are fact. Critical thinking usually leads to suspicion of what's presented. Testing it against other information is vital in coming to some sort of conclusion. In the case of Ethereum, there are many great things about it that I think will benefit society as we fight against and tear down the current fiat system. However, just because we tear down one system, doesn't mean the new one won't have the tentacles of the elite cabal all over it.
I outlined some things in a video in my second post ever on steemit (which was today), and you actually commented on that post as well...so look for the rest of my response there.
Most conspiracies are not fact. Conspiracies are incredibly difficult for human beings to pull off because human beings are weak and fallible and not omnipotent. Sigh. It's really sad to see someone write: "conspiracies are fact."
I've zero interest in"debating" you on this because if you think that, you're lost relative to anything I'd ever find interesting.
Truly, good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for.
@eeks Big difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy theory..for anyone to beLIEve anything is a bad practice, notice the root word of knowledge is to know:) Saying who's worth paying attention to is subjective, opinions are subjective I like rock music you don't who's wrong or right? All subjective, cheers!
Your arguments are those that missed the age of enlightenment, which is what the US, modernity, and science are built on. Science is literally "knowing" and it's built on facts, on what's provable, importantly, on what's disprovable", and on doing the work.
The root of "science" is "Scire." It's not "Credo." There's a difference, and that difference is crucial. Man's goal should be Scire, not giving up or being lazy and just focusing on Credo.
Next time I will agree with your subjective views...giving the fact you didn't like not the fact I gave constructive feedback and you didn't up-vote me almost like your rubbing in my face nanana bobooo i have power to say im right and your wrong! Anyhow congrats your steem power won this ego battle..cheers!!!
Yes, you do have the power to decide what you think. I don't think science is a "subjective" view though -- I mean one can make that argument it is and you can deconstruct everything semiotician style and say that communication between two people is impossible, technically, and also nothing can ever be objective. But that time of circlejerk conversation is pretty boring and it's more of a useless debating tactic than something that can allow some to live a more enlightened or more profitable life.
I will say that looking into your profile, you're doing fascinating things. I hope you make on American Ninja Warrior, and when you're on it, I'll root for you. Cheers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan no ... he is not ..... are you actually serious? Spend 5 minutes reading about his life and you'll figure out his goals were aligned with spreading scientific awareness .... not 'fake news' lol....
My mom was a history professor, I was a history major, and I have immersed myself in more history study and reading of all kinds than almost anyone I've ever met. I reject "history is one conspriacy after another" [sic] as very poorly informed. What a weird twisted way to conceive of history. It's simply not.
Forget internet of things, the future is internet of everything! Security is going to be paramount, and if anything can secure the internet it is strong encryption and blockchain technology.
EDIT: Also, Silicon Valley is a great show, if you haven't watched it yet it's worth it!
@eeks ETH is mentioned in last paragraph - did not want to make article about something that everybody knows already :) Urbit is not - will read on it now, thanks!
@evanrvoss theres project called IOTA (wrote about it some articles ago) which already got huge marketcap, its targetin IoT so yes we are close here!
Urbit is the real deal. They are building everything from zero. The design seems absolutely great, but it also requires a lot of work and that's why they have very little to show even after years of development.
The next crowdsale will be in the near future, if anybody happens to be interested in it. Subscribe to the mailing list to get notified: https://urbit.org
Blockchain and decentralized internet represents a new way of tackling problems. When a decentralized internet brings value to people in any capacity, then things will continue to take off. I think we are moving closer to a more sharing economy versus a more consumption based society, a block chain based, decentralized internet can help enable this.
EOS won't even launch for a year and is designed to put as much money in the hands of Dan Larimer and his investors as possible with no responsibility for delivering anything. Promise everything, deliver nothing, uncap it and let people pour in their own imagination, FOMO and dollars.
I see no reason to bother at all. If one plans to bother, tactically I would wait 6 months and then start dollar cost averaging in. A constant dribble of supply will wear on the market and is a technical overhang on the EOS price. Also, surely there will be better times to buy crypto than today's frothy/FOMO environment.
But by the time it launches EOS will have a dozen or more more seasoned, more tested, more ingrained competitors including Steem itself.
These are possibilities but from what I know about Dan I see him as being honest and having bigger and praiseworthy goals than making money for the sake of making money.
As for the EOS launch I haven't seen anywhere whether the launch would be during the ICO of after. I'd really love to see a confirmation either way.
Thank you for your input though I think some of your reflections on the current markets outlook might make me more cautious about investing in EOS early.
Honestly, I don't think an honest person would design a crowdsale structure like Dan has, which is uncapped, easily manipulated by EOS itself (and I expect it will be by buying into certain periods themselves, buying in supply, jawboning the price), and runs for a year.
Actions speak loud. His past actions speak loudly too, in a bad way.
Really?

Eye rolls forevs
Look what happened right after my post. I moved everything to Tether the day before and 3/4 is still there.
Read my past posts....

The way society works right now has made everyone paranoid beyond belief haha.
A true Digital Panopticon
Good point... Scary indeed.... Will any cryptos be safe from this all seeing digital economy? Are the likes of Monero and other 'anon' cryptos truly safe to use as an 'off-the-grid' user?
We beginning to see how volatile they really are....

Well done!
Question everything. Nothing is as it seems any more and the rabbit hole is deep and winding.

Thank You, Will Do My Best On There!!!
When you get on, you can tell them on TV that "Eeks from the internet believes in me."
Haha and then he mentions Carl Sagan
Your comment is unclear. Can you clarify it? What's the significance of highlighting my mention of Carl Sagan.
Carl Sagan is working for fake news. Do some research on his early years.
Right. Uhm. Good luck in life.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan no ... he is not ..... are you actually serious? Spend 5 minutes reading about his life and you'll figure out his goals were aligned with spreading scientific awareness .... not 'fake news' lol....
Do you believe in any conspriacies? I mean history is one conspriacy after another why would the present be any different?
My mom was a history professor, I was a history major, and I have immersed myself in more history study and reading of all kinds than almost anyone I've ever met. I reject "history is one conspriacy after another" [sic] as very poorly informed. What a weird twisted way to conceive of history. It's simply not.
Well then. We have nothing more to say to each other. Best wishes
Thanks now I'm following pressfortruth as well :)
And the videos confirmed my research that indeed BitShares could really work, so thanks again!
Nice presentation, except for the enslavery hype.
I think the the first building block of "internet of things" is "blockchain"....Blockchain is going to be involved in every aspect of our lives.
wow
Forget internet of things, the future is internet of everything! Security is going to be paramount, and if anything can secure the internet it is strong encryption and blockchain technology.
EDIT: Also, Silicon Valley is a great show, if you haven't watched it yet it's worth it!
:D
Im ready for blockchain to take over everything....That is why we are lucky because we are one of the early ones in the platform.

Won't EOS be able to achieve a decentralized internet?
