Yeah, I guess something needs to be done. Blockchain is powerful, but it seems to not be reaching its potential. Cryptocurrency seriously is denting its image.

Cryptocurrency is the blockchain's image, though. It's the posterchild, the most dead-simple distributed system to implement. You don't need variable-width ledger entries or complicated typing schemes, you just need numbers and a distributed CSV file. All of the successful distributed technologies (I2P, Matrix, Bittorrent) have proven that blockchains are totally unnecessary for modern distributed systems.

  Well, I hope I can prove them wrong. xD

    I have a conviction that blockchain can do a lot more good than just cryptocurrency if implemented carefully.

      How do you intend to prove that?
      - alegeaa 4y ago
        By building one. Still testing the hypothesis but I believe it's possible, and it will work. xD
