If you are surprised about why a technology is missing, sometimes it means that you have come up with something novel. Other times it means that you have come up with another idea that was ruled out by others.
In this case, it's the latter. The utility of cryptocoins is due to trustless, decentralized storage/transfer of value. If it's not decentralized, it's useless. If it's not trustless, it's useless.
- icebraining 7y agoThe existence of "permissioned blockchains" disagrees with that assertion. Lots of people are interested in them, despite requiring trust.
- ubiubi18 7y agoHmm, those big projects like btc or eth are NOT at all decentralised, that is just a meme. It is more like proof-of-materialism. That alone is a good reason to keep on searching for other decentralised solutions. Btc is allready ruled out by the majority of people on this planet.
