You are confusing Bitcoin with Blockchain.
We need this because internet is currently centralized and an authority in power can control the flow of information. Blockstack aims to provide decentralized internet using blockchain and that is a good thing as it makes the internet stronger.
- cookiecaper 9y agoAny new tech "using blockchain" is a non-starter for general use; they are constraining themselves automatically by adopting "blockchain" technology. People assume that "blockchain" is inherently good due to the buzz created by rampant speculation among Bitcoin traders, but the blockchain itself is an experimental platform that is dubiously fitted even to the narrow constraints of bitcoin, let alone forming the foundation of a "new internet".
- BatFastard 9y agoMy feeling on "using blockchain" is that any tech based on it is inherently not scalable.
