Don't conflate dapps with scams. I enjoy building small experimental dapps that I just throw out on the blockchain and let people toy around with. No-one is making any money and no-one is in control. Call it art if you will but for me that's an appeal in itself, even if it serves no higher purpose.
Another aspect is that I really like the fact that I don't have any responsibilities once it's launched. No servers to take care of or feedback to consider. It's truly decentralized.
- ithkuil 7y agoCould you point to some examples?
- DyslexicAtheist 7y ago> Call it art if you will that sounds awesome actually. But then they should label it as such and (like IOTA) go to places like Volkswagen and CISCO and peddle this stuff as "the future" and make fraudulent claims on twitter that these big companies have "already started" building their systems on that nonsense.
- Kiro 7y agoExactly. Until there's a proven and functional use case for blockchains that will actually help businesses that's just straight-up snake oil. Right now it's an interesting concept but not much more - that's why I classify it as art. All my dapps could just as well have been centralized on a regular server with the same functionality but I put them on the blockchain for fun and experimentation.
