its the blockChain technology thats important, not bitCoin
-- blockChain ?!
no yeah, its like this thing how you keep track of everything
-- and why it is important
oh, its awesome. you can buy coffee with blockChain and follow mangos and other stuff. and its anonymous!
-- okay... and what else?
well, there's so many options and its super-duper important. just trust me on this.
** every chain nerd ever **
blockChain (bC) can be anonymous. but that is not where it shines.
bC is a ledger. so we should use it as like one.
today we have learned that everything between you and the internet is public knowledge. you can see it. i can see it. succ can see it. The Man can see it. this will not change, so we need to embrace it.
i would like to start a 'can you imagine' sentence, but maybe we can go without pathos.
so, if i may, picture a world where you know exactly that everything you put on the bC will be there for the total lifetime of the chain. and most likely the chain will outlast you. so there is no misunderstandings there. all and everything is public.
i can understand that it can sound intimidating.
everybody knows its public
everybody accepts its public
everybody can find everybody else
everybody can follow the ownership of property
everybody can have access to your personal data
everybody can find out how much money you are making
everybody can find out where and when you spend that money
everybody can find out what their selected representative is working on
nobody can claim ownership of your work if you publish it on the chain first
nobody can pay a somebody less for their input only because of their gender
you can follow your taxes up to a nickel (or satoshi. whatever) and see exactly what you are paying for
corruption is impossible anywhere else but in anonymous :) chains
everybody can iterate on this list
we dont want a world with anonymous chains. exactly the opposite.
So, now I need help to convert this incoherent brainfart into a solid text.
