- damon_c 6y ago> laypeople know what benefit the internet Yes that's true now, but what about in 1997? That's what year it is in Ethereum now.
- kgilpin 6y agoWell to be fair, transferring information instantly was pretty great even in 1997.
- Sargos 6y agoYou'd think so but that wasn't a popular idea in 1997. Most people really didn't see much of a use for the internet.
- roolah 6y agoWell to be fair, transferring money instantly would be pretty great for 2020. I mean, the only way I can pay rent to my landlord in 2020 is by having my bank send them a physical check that takes 5d to arrive (during which time no-one gets any interest), or then use multiple Zelle payments since I have an artificial cap that is lower than my rent.
- deeeeplearning 6y agoHell laypeople until the mid 2000s still didn't grasp what the Internet could be other than it was a stock market bonanza. Sounds familiar...
