Crypto should only be an experiment at this point in time. Blockchain is another matter entirely as that's a technology that enables all of this and it has other applications. But crypto is a (very) interesting experiment.
The more people realise this and treat crypto as an experiment, the less scams and ruined lives we're going to see.

- JSavageOne 5y agoSo 0 should go into any experiment? That doesn't even make sense.
- guiomie 5y agoBitcoin not blockchain. I'm gonna get downvoted like crazy, but the innovation is bitcoin not blockchain. The more people realise this, the less scams and ruined lives we're going to see.
- RealityVoid 5y agoBlockchain is completely uninteresting. The beauty of crypto is not in the tech or cryptography itself, really, but the social consensus it is able to create and the very well balanced, self-sustaining incentive systems it creates. Cryptography is just a tool to enforce is but the social awareness is amazing to me.
