You got me there. I see a lot of cool possibilities, neat ideas, but no killer app. It’s all too complicated. But how long was that the case for the web? Decades? Even circa 2009 when I last did public facing IT work, many people were still talking to their mice. I’m not saying Bitcoin will be any more than a interesting diversion, but much like the web, it is far far too early to tell if it will just be a TempleOS style wet dream, or something that utterly shifts the landscape of the how we live our lives. (I’m also fascinated with how COVID is reshaping our planet.) When was the last time something changed how all of humanity lives their lives, globally, in a short period, before COVID? The internet? Electricity? What were some other big ticket changes you guys can think of?
