RE: From Scammer to Saint

in #video7 years ago

Why would somebody move all of their money into a form that they could lose with no help for getting it back once it is gone.

That's probably 99.99% of the cryptospace currently, considering the marketcap is over $170 billion I'd say a lot of people. :P

All I'm saying is that comparing Steem to the others, here you have a better safety if you have your funds in SteemPower and have registered the account through @steem.

I can see insurance companies being needed in the future of blockchain security, though.

Sort:  

For sure, but the people who have money in crypto, they haven't moved all of there money into it. I am sure there are some people, but for the vast majority, everybody still has a bank account and a credit card.

Steem is definitely ahead of the curve. I just feel we have a lot further to go before people are able to utilize the block chain like we can utilize a bank or a credit card. And one of those, is the insurance I have for my funds if they are lost.

Thanks for the talk Acid!

Indeed @biasnarrative, we have a lot to go further to reach that target, so much that I have few hope that I will be still alive to see it, but this is the inevitable future. Blockchain technology is the inevitable future of the financial world.

@acidyo, I think you are right about the insurance company aspect but one alternative could be (shameless plug coming), a protocol like ours that resolves disputes through smart contracts, and manages escrow through the blockchain. I think this could one method of securing crypto investments across multiple platforms.
