I second you on that one. I attended the Consesus hackathon over the weekend, which is like the culmination of the blockchain community before the summit started today. I asked a whole bunch of the lot to explain bitcoin and blockchain in simple terms. All I got were more and more big words. It seems the language is very foreign, maybe it's just me.
I think that lack of simple explanation is what has slowed down innovation around blockchain. A lot of developers simply don't understand fully what they are dealing with. The presentations were mediocre at best and the recurrent question was "How is this better than what people currently use?" Unfortunately, the answer was mostly, "It uses blockchain." I doubt that suffices.
Or maybe I'm just the daft one, I doubt so.
- kanzure 11y agoSorry to hear about your somewhat negative experience at the hackathon. I was there hoping to explain bitcoin things to folks, I co-hosted the bitcoin 101 session on Saturday but maybe you missed that? Catch me at the event and I can answer whatever questions.
