I did not learn anything from that post, it mostly read as an advertisement for ETH and the linked websites. If you are going to toute the actual legitimate use cases for blockchain, please name at least one.

  Can you explain in detail? Citing sources for claimed benefits over the established services it’s replicating?

    Sure, if you compensate me for my time and effort in doing so. I'll compile a report for you for 0.0037 sats.

      I'll take that as “no”, then. I mean, you're the salesguy popping into the thread to say we should all buy in to something, you might need a better pitch if you want to get rich that way.

        I never said you should buy anything. And certainly never in my life have I tried to sell a crypto. Why would I? I enjoy discussing how crypto is going to change the world because I genuinely believe it will. A move away from everything being centralized is a good thing in my opinion. edit: just to add on - would you call somebody who was excited about the Internet in 1995 a salesman? Just because I have an easy time seeing where crypto is heading and am excited about it should not be considered "salesman" behavior.

        Weren't you just trying to charge people to discuss with them how cryptocurrencies will change the world? That sounds much less like an ethusiast and much more like a salesman.

        It was a sarcastic reply to the request the poster made of me but I guess that humor was lost on you. Why on earth would I spend the time and effort to write up a well sourced research paper to satisfy some random request on hacker news?

      0.0037sats is currently US$0.00000197. We have a deal but I'll transfer another currency since the transaction fee is several orders of magnitude greater than your quoted price.

        Your math is way off.

        Not sure what kind of expertise I am buying with those sats. 1btc = 100million sats.
        eric_cc 6y ago
        Try to type the following into Google: “0.0037 btc to usd”
        robjan 6y ago
        You said sats, not btc. It's a pointless argument.
        eric_cc 6y ago
        Ooooh I see and you’re correct. My mistake.

  That’s still a handwavy theoretical category of vaporware. Not one concrete example of a tangible application where “de-fi” replaced a previous technology with a better solution?
