i believe it's true, however i distinctly remember that france's ancestor to internet ( called "minitel") first use was prostitution related, yet it also spawned other usages like yellow pages and train reservations.
What's surprising about crypto however, is that this "second wave" of usages should already start to appear by now, and yet we don't see any sign of them.
- reacweb 4y agoI do not think people should confuse minitel rose (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel_rose https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel_rose) with prostitution. In one case, the victim is the prostitute, in the other case, it is the client.
- bsaul 4y agoSure, i couldn't find a way to describe minitel rose in english so i went for prostitution. But it's clearly not, you're right.
- whatisweb3 4y agoThe “second wave” of crypto uses are already present for those using these networks. For average mass market appeal, we will not see it until PoS and privacy enabled scalable L2s reach maturity.
