Hyper / mega / etc all are hype up type words
Blockchain - tons of hype
A ton of techno folks build products that do privacy / security but don't really have a use case or user base perhaps (outside of the unsavory types).
Blockchain has this same issue. A lot of use cases around payments for kidnapping, drug deals etc and endless endless scams.
Wasn't there a "megaupload" file sharing site where the guy went to jail for computer fraud (perhaps unfairly).
Anyways, I would folks on what your product does, and just avoid the hyper blockchain mega drive space swarm language.
- SturgeonsLaw 6y agoThe example you gave, Megaupload, wasn't a peer to peer blockchain buzzword bingo site, it was just a plain old Web 2.0 era website with a founder who turned a blind eye (or perhaps encouraged) pirated media to be uploaded. Google Kim Dotcom if you're interested in his story. He hasn't done any jail time, despite the US DOJ's attempts to extradite him, although that really leads to the question as to whether jail is an appropriate punishment for copyright infringement.
