Tech now moves at lightning speed to even the year 2000, you can take a room full of tech literate people now who have never heard of blockchain and teach them and have them running their own blockchain in under an hour, stop acting like this shit is so amazing and different that it should take 10 years plus to catch on.Its basically a small sidebranch to internet tech that anyone even mildy tech minded can understand in 1 lecture.It iant taking off because its slow, too risky insurance wise having things decentralised, nobody wants all their financial info for anyone to look at, nobody wants all their money lost forvever if they type a character wrong.Problem is you all bought in to the liberal hippy shit about muh decentralization and controlling your own money.Nobody irl gives 2 fucks about that.
You're completely right. Also the extreme redistribution of wealth from big banks to ordinary people. You think the banks and governments would allow that?

> Several of the characters inside a Bitcoin address are used as a checksum so that typographical errors can be automatically found and rejected. The checksum also allows Bitcoin software to confirm that a 33-character (or shorter) address is in fact valid and isn't simply an address with a missing character. You are so confident for a dumb person. Guess this is the result of attendance awards.

Thing is Amazon is an easy premise, that's why it has mass appeal. So has Facebook. Snapchat's concept takes some minutes to introduce, that's why we see a huge generational disparity on that medium.
It works like this for every market in the world. Niches aren't for the mainstream.
Isaiah Garcia
Yeah, those aren't fuds, they're realistic statements you can't refute. Your sister, mom and idiot classmates will *never* understand crypto, and will never trust it. It's too much hassle for next to no benefit for ordinary people.
Christopher Nelson
exactly this, you're early when people only do it the new way because they're tech geeks and think it's cool: buying books online, watching movies online instead of on the tv, using speech to text, or in our cases, using decentralized exchanges, distributed ledger systems, DeFi, etc. Blockchain WILL be part of the IoT and IoE. That tech isn't ubiquitous yet, but it doesn't mean it's not right around the corner.

Blockchain can bring freedom and cheap banking without needing permission to billions. The EU is moving towards permissioned banking, the US already has it. Wrong opinions? Uncomfortable truths? Nah cunt, you can no longer buy food now aye.
Levi Rogers
People use cash every day yet they don’t have a any fucking idea about monetary system and how money is printed out of thin air It will be the same for crypto, you will use some “app” to do your transactions the same way you use a bank today You will have the possibility to send funds from your phone, scroll the contact and send the amount Easy peasy
Aiden Thompson
>you're early when people only do it the new way because they're tech geeks This. I've literally walked normies through the process of crypto and it's always the same: >wow, user, that was hard >I can't remember all that. and isn't crypto a scam anyway? haha
Normies need something like Facebook to make it dead simple for them to use
Isaac Bailey
you humans don't know what the decentralized internet will do And gas/bitcoin/tokens will be only a fuel for the decentralization > muh javascript javascript was a joke created by its author. Like squared wheels for cars. Now everyone is using squared 4 wheels in their cars and they think it's normal. It is not. Decentralized internet will be like Star Trek's subspace transporter is to Sentinel Island's inhabitants. Inconcepibile at the least. Then they will beam them in and out their isolated island just like normal fishing routine

>nobody is using any of this crap except a bunch of based autists building the economically-incentivized future internet (metanet)
OP, if you can’t see where DLT is in its development, no one can help you. Massive industries are in the process of reformulating. Anyone with your perspective has never worked in any sort of meaningful capacity, therefore it is no wonder you cannot understand where things are and where they’re going.
I suggest you study the basic international supply chain models that exist, then look into things like IBM’s new solution that literally cuts time by over 90%. Try to understand how SAP, Salesforce, etc handle purchase orders, all the time and personnel issues that are being automated away.
The problem isn’t DLT, the problem is your inability to understand complex systems that are used every second of every day. You’re too focused on how cryptocurrency helps you buy shit on amazon, you conclude it doesn’t, then you come here and say “LOL I literally can’t even think of why this is better than centralized servers” thinking you’re smart because you understand the very basic idea of a server or cloud.
Ethan Bailey
IoT, IoE, M2M are memes, like VR AR 8k 260fps and robot catgirls I have said enough
Liam Jones
I sincerely don’t understand why people like you don’t step back and say, “hey, there’s a lot of smart people devoting lots of time and resources to this, I really don’t understand anything about SaaS or any tech shit at all except at the most superficial of levels...maybe I’m missing a bigger picture”
Gavin Cook
how come no one else has done it? Because you're a dumb dipshit and they couldn't come up with this. Decntralization is only important in place where the economy collapses and you have to flee or hide your wealth. Or you become unpopular with the government then decentralization is more valuable than gold.
Luis Murphy
You’re wrong and nescient too
Here’s a tip: don’t convince yourself that you’re smarter than you actually are. If you don’t understand what’s happening, then you don’t have a good perspective. You should unironically just buy ChainLink and be thankful a bunch or nerds turned it into a meme. Then you can brag to all your friends and family about how smart you are even though you don’t get it in the least.
Nathan Thompson
my god you idiot, we all bought link at ico here. Learn math you dumbfuck. You lazy fucktards are allergic to research or backing up your investments with reasoning. Moon memes won't get a billion tokens to $100
good reply, but IBM's Watson and Salesforce are smokescreen memes. Like trusting Goldman Sachs and Facebook's VR program. They will perish against real distruptive innovation.
Benjamin Collins
I’m not talking about Watson
Jordan Cooper
It would take too much time and energy trying to teach you. I’ve tried with lots of people. No one said memes will get it to $100. I said you’re lucky they meme’d it so idiots like you get an opportunity to know about it, because you don’t understand the actual potential.
Justin Ross
potential, got it. I bought at ico so im waiting for full potential maybe yyour stupid $100 eoy memes raised my expectations too high and it's my fault for expecting link to stay above $3 by this time
Colton Robinson
Jesus christ, if you actually got in at the ICO, then you would understand how this market works. Learn to trade if you want constant profit.

Ryder Hall
I understand that LINK has no roadmap to real adoption. Pumps on partnerships are nice but not long lasting. LINK is a great traders coin because it pumps on news but we need more buyers who hold.
Kayden Moore
OP is right, no one needs any of these shitcoins for anything. Bitcoin never got the "killer app" it needed, because it sucks as a currency and failed at most of its objectives. Crypto as a currency is about as useful as a DVD rewinder. It does nothing better than what we currently have.
Blockchain, on the other hand, is here to stay and offers a lot of innovation. The thing is, none of these companies need any of these publicly available solutions. They are fully capable of building their own private chains and that's exactly what they're doing.
So if you're hoping for constant x1000 price bubbles in the future, then you're probably going to be disappointed. It's obvious that crypto as a currency is a niche and would only be useful in the event of a total economic collapse. Something that you autists would never make it through anyways.
On top of this, normies hate it and will never figure it out. There are no consumer protections with crypto. The US has a sub-100 IQ average, so I doubt any adoption will occur unless it somehow becomes easier, faster and safer than a credit card.

My mom is past 60 now and she still struggles to send an attached file without my help, she probably wouldn't even be able to post on this board. Most boomers are tech illiterates and will remain as such until their death, what matters is that zoomers and millenials understand how it works.
>There are no consumer protections with crypto. The US has a sub-100 IQ average, so I doubt any adoption will occur unless it somehow becomes easier, faster and safer than a credit card.
The big picture you don't see is that crypto in 3 years will be easier to deal with when it comes to do transactions and microtransactions online. Today buying things online is still crap, the" pay-for-content" doesn't work because people don't want to register their credit cards on dozens of different websites and the prices are just too high (because of the fees).
Besides it's not like we have a choice anyway, we either adopt crypto or get trapped in a nightmarish cashless fiat society where you can be cut abitrarily from the financial system, pretty fucked up.
This You can make new wallets and use third parties to communicate. With a VPN or tor you'll be untraceable and unknowable. Just do it ONCE. ONCE after you buy some from an exchange with KYC rules and they can't tell who the hell you sent your coins to even if it was yourself. And this shit about blacklisting wallets is a clear unenforceable bluff.
Easton Russell
I'm not arguing about price but usage. Usage doesn't necessarily mean a higher token price. For example time sensitive settlements of BTC into fiat on a large scale like if shops were accepting BTC can suppress the price. If a successor replaces BTC that also means the tech is being used but the price of BTC still wouldn't go up. >Do you think your mom would ever find any use or value in Bitcoin? Both my parents know of use cases where a decentralized ledger could solve issues in their field. A ledger can't be decentralized without monetary incentive, a private federated chain is not close to the same thing.
Jayden Ortiz
It's not just boomers, but I find that most people are technically illiterate. Millennials just know how an app works. Outside of that, the average person will not understand or care about how any of this works, which won't be important until they encounter problems. Remember, this forum is mostly an echo chamber of people with somewhat higher intelligence than an average person.
>crypto in 3 years will be easier to deal with when it comes to do transactions and microtransactions online.
They said this 3 years ago and 3 years before that. I have no doubts that it will become easier with time, but there's still no reason to use it over credit (muh rewards, chargebacks, protection, points, price matching etc.) or cash (local transactions).
>Today buying things online is still crap, the" pay-for-content" doesn't work because people don't want to register their credit cards on dozens of different websites and the prices are just too high (because of the fees).
But they do and online services are one of the biggest areas of growth in the economy. Credit card fees are 1.5-2.5% and there are no worries about price fluctuations. These are incentives that average people want, even though it's pretty much a fraud.
>Besides it's not like we have a choice anyway, we either adopt crypto or get trapped in a nightmarish cashless fiat society where you can be cut abitrarily from the financial system, pretty fucked up.
and this is exactly where we're headed. The structure of America today cannot survive without a centralized state-backed currency. If people suddenly went their own way with a decentralized currency that could not be printed, then good luck trying to run our nation as it stands today with all its liabilities and the loss of our power to fleece the rest of the world, which gives us a greater standard of living than everyone else. You will see the government crack down harder and harder on crypto as time goes on.
Owen Mitchell
>the loss of our power to fleece the rest of the world While the ineffective US government will crack down on it the rest of the world will embrace it for the same reason. This actually presents the US with an opportunity to fail gracefully and transition into a more sustainable form instead of collapsing horribly which is the inevitable result of their old policies. Tariffs signal the beginning of the end of the global open market as enforced by the US military, the US will have to make things themselves.
Aiden Lee
>The big picture you don't see is that crypto in 3 years will be easier to deal with when it comes to do transactions and microtransactions online. This is never going to be true. This is an old narrative. Today instant bank transfers are becoming the standard. europeanpaymentscouncil.eu/what-we-do/sepa-instant-credit-transfer >without going through a third party and without paying a fee to anyone You sent an extremely illiquid token on an empty network. Cryptocurrencies are by their nature less efficient.
Simple crypto totally failed for payments because it's only useful for illegal payments. What's actually useful are smart contracts, but that's only starting.
