It’s the blockchain stupid!


That’s what’s bugged me about bitcoin, et-al from the beginning. The cool thing is not the currency. It’s the blockchain, which can be used for almost anything.

There are changes coming with Ethereum 2.0

They've already lost the race. Others already have fast networks and low prices. Algorand has already solved the trilema and has a ton of real use cases already. https://www.algorand.com/ecosystem/use-cases

There are huge differences between Etherium and Bitcoin.

The most notable is the method of “proof” and the supply inflation.

For example, Doge coin adds 14 million “coins” per day. Not exactly good for an investment. Bitcoin is limited at not more than 21 million.

Etherium and Cardano will be valuable for transactions and smart contracts.

There are as many coins now as there are ideas.

It is dangerous to pick winners this early in the process.

Cuban is self learning crypto backend coding. He loves the NFTs and can raise huge dollar amounts due to his popularity. I had hopes in the Cardano project because it was thoroughly defined and anticipated government intervention.
