The only distinction between crypto and just HTTPS is the distributed concept. Something that I don't really think is valuable and neither do most consumers. Crypto exchanges get robbed more often than banks. The notion of investing in "http" is akin to investing in "blockchain" which isn't a thing. Anyone who saw the value of the internet would have been buying Apple, Google and Amazon because they were providing goods and services. Not tokens. I'm heavily invested in reddit karma, but it's still not fungible.
- dogman144 6y agoIt's not so much the distributed concept, but it's the "verifiably discrete" packets that behave like a global internet protocol concept. I don't think you know the tech under the hood vs. existing tech, it sounds like. There has been no way, prior to now, to verify that my packet I'm sending over a network is a discrete entity, unless you use something like a certificate authority, and that's not really the same ballpark/use case. It's worth digging in that direction if you actually have an open mind about it.
