Trustless from an untrusted private, non private leaking personal data company, sounds like a complete and utter cluster fuck to me but hey, the majority don’t care as long as they can have cat videos in their feed each day and feel like they are relevant if they have the same ‘crypto’ coins as you do, stored away and augmented inside of the facebook reality.
crypto content makers this is your starting signal, you need to start 10x the content you are putting out about your favourite crypto because those that own the eyeball firehose are starting to rain down pseudo chain blows on your favourite crypto projects.
At least that’s how I see it, my opinion.
While it’s great in some ways to VALIDATE the need and usage of crypto currency (digital currency) in some ways it also kinda dilutes the true meaning and rational of the technology that drives it. It’s like facebook started selling 3d printed ‘crypto coins’ at your favourite car boot sale and nobody cares because it’s cheaper and looks like the real thing.
Would you hold a facebook crypto wallet of libre? (Liberty/freedom) while it hops into bed with major companies like visa and MasterCard, basically gentrifying your digital ass outta your crypto neighbourhood? Well, that’s what’s gonna happen — the masses want to be relevant, facebook needs to pivot and guess what, no re-skin this time is gonna do it.
Steam for me has always had a great story, great utility, the ability to send and receive steem or sbd for free within three seconds, that’s freaking awesome, it opened my eyes to a better solution to sending funds back and forth to america, no more shitty western union with massive fees and stupid oversized pieces of paper with my life story on it — no sitting in cars waiting for it to come through sometimes hours later.
Like, so damn middleman, so inefficient, nothing new, no control for me to take back over my personal time and finances. It did not seem like progress but instead a roadblock, a hump in the road of my life that I had to put on hold while something out of my hands took place.
Anyway, I rant more about LIBRE in the video, are you gonna get yaself some LIBRE or would you rather HODL some BTC? :)
