I think you are mostly right on technicals, but also that it is mainly a case of "better than" rather than perfect. I don't believe in neutral agenda (people that build big tech do so with agenda).
Everi is a slightly better trust/accuracy model than wiki (according to one of the founders of both). Block = less VC, better chance, less infrastructure, community support, stakeholder buy in. Everi can have unlimited pages on a topic, not just one. The chain will show edits (does wiki always, can it be manipulated invisibly?). These features make it more interesting alone. Most votes does not = best anywhere in life. I don't use popularity as a judge of much so the vote/signup issue is not very relevant to me (it's more than wiki again, but I am happy with anon info).
Almost nothing we use now tech wise is doing the thing it was designed to do originally (it was all extended/changed/improved etc).
Utopian fallacies result in inaction. Small change is progress. It can be flawed & incomplete but useful. The difference between "should" & "does". It's the opposite of binary.
It doesn't have to solve every problem, just some. It's just another tool/tech. Your grudge is valid if you spent energy but it didn't live up to the promises (it became expense). It does have uses & many of the people who built what we use today are working on blockchain/crypto products with valid use cases (yes, there is loads of junk too).
My main issue personally is that once you mix money & tech in that way, it becomes very emotional for people (see twitter fomo when coins are up). I like unemotional tech if possible.
After the hype, there will be a few good use cases (usually financially beneficial) & a lot of the silly stuff will drop to the side.
I'll give you a very good use case: sending money, avoiding dealing with banks (partially). That doesn't mean I think "crypto will bring down banking" really.
So that we are clear: I like that you dislike/are sceptical/cynical about it. Trying to figure out deep issues from cheerleaders is pointless.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
