The State of Decentralization

The trend is obvious. People are tired of centralized control and moving to decentralized solutions:

• Bitcoin decentralized central banking and fiat control
• Decred decentralized governance
• Augur decentralized prediction markets
• Sentinel decentralized the centralized bandwidth and VPN markets
• Blockstack decentralized computing networks and app ecosystems
• Kyber decentralized liquidity pools and centralized exchanges

Which decentralized projects will gain unprecedented market share in the next two years? Which ones will be the most profitable?

bitcoin will keep increasing its monetary premium over project without revenue and users, thats my prediction

We are seeing a black swan event with the shift to decentralization. My favorites are Decred, SENT, and Kyber.

Ambrosus

as a bitcoiner i like decred a lot, the ibuilt governance and the treasury are very nice concepts

If you look at all those projects, SENT has the best risk/reward ratio. $8M mcap and no viable competitors. Also have Kyber for long term.

+1 for SENT. Will be $100M mcap in no time.

What I love to see is P2P resource sharing that only blockchain allows. A true first in human transactional history. Sentinel is my favourite project that actually allows P2P bandwidth sharing to use a decentralized VPN to stay secure and private online. I think the DVPN market will be worth billions of dollars as the world realises the flaws of centralized VPNS and that they are selling people’s data and colluding with malicious third parties. Sent could actually a good investment imo because they are dvpn leaders and the more throughput on the network the more the token value will go up - simple supply and demand economics. Stats are going crazy too: stats.sentinel.co
This project has a BIG future!

well if you look at the internet, everything is being centralized by the massive tech companies, Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon are either buying out or suppressing all competitors, soon they will simply censor any competition from their services.

i like the model where various soverign chins are selling services to BTC holders

I like Komodo over Kyber, but Decred and SENT are good decentralization projects. A good book on this trend is The Sovereign Individual. Should be mandatory reading for Jow Forums

yeah the soverign individual and the bitcoin standard are basic reads, everyone that has not read those 2 books is just loosing potential profits.
its the only way to understand crypto ecosystem

How does this work user?

its possible with interoperability between blockchains, blockstream does it through a federated peg, tendermint hubs will do it through multisig owned by validators.
bitcoin will have all the capabilities of any other chain after IBC from tendermint launches.
it will have smart contracts and privacy.
we are about to enter in an even more bitcoin centric ecosystem.
the biggest gainers from this coming trend are projects that are adapting fast and understand that there is more benfit in becoming bitcoin sidechains insteaad of fightning bitcoin like ethereum brainlets do

CZ is putting his Exchange on tendermint?

shutup commie

The most successful projects will be the ones that ease adoption and use instead of forcing native platform tokens to be used. SENT is doing it right by not having to buy SENT to pay for dVPN, but the token still has value by being used to collect fees by securing & validating the network.

yeah dude CZ has made a big bet on tendermint, people that trade on cz exchange will be able to access all other tendermint blockchains very easily and use all the services, included mixing, which is going to be huge

any project that doesn't force tokens upon its users, but encourages to use btc will win

I guess thats why he listed Cosmos. I wonder what he seeks to gain. Did he get the ICO, or is the same capital in Binance tied up with Cosmos?.

Decentralisation is a meme
Tether shits all over your dreams of decentralisation

tendermint its just the superior tech, also i wouldn't be surpised if cz launches other tendermint projects.
matic was built on tendermint for example

Are you sure? I am pretty sure CZ is tied up with Okex and it is just a shell company LARP. OKex Chinese have been behind many scams user. Even eth. Bo shen was major funder of Eth.

that might be true, tendermint chains offer that regulatory arbitrage thats needed as regulators try to put their claws around this space

Decentralized Mobile Communications and IPFS Unlimited Storage.

IPFS is cool

>IPFS is cool
IPFS is a game changer

yeah also what maidsafe is doing is very cool, if they manage to deliver it will become bigger then eth

Maidsafe still around?

Yup they are still around. They rebranded as safenetwork.tech

Sovereign Individual is what got me into BTC. I reread it every year.

Wow no mention of compound in this thread

Checked. I wish TSI timeline could be here NOW. I don’t want to wait decades :(

But then you wouldn't be able to profit off the transition

What is compound user.

Pocketnet.app social media without even a corporate entity lol

Pill us on compound user

IPFS has anything to do with some blockchain project?

the whole push toward decentralization is complete bullshit, unless things like Tether die.
