Hi
I have 26 years experience using a computer, and I have no time for 12 hour-courses, or to get into each and every crypto-fad.
Most cryptos that are big, like BitCoin and Ethereum are about the _heart crypto-system_ which is about to "rule us all".
By that I mean,
the system of block chains, which are sort of like
1) pieces of gold uniquely numbered, and
2) placed publicly in the town square,
3) with a name and address affixed to each one
is the bed rest of what will come next.
For ease of understanding, I will call these cryptoes Web 1, because they will be more or less invisible to traders in the future, for these two reasons
1) Their safety will be established it will be taken for granted
2) Outliers building on this safety will be so many that you won´t need to hire an expert to investigate it
By that token, I want to ask you;
which cryptos do you consider part of this, initial, fundament-building process, and
which do you consider to be part of a framework that builds on top of this?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allow to me explain, briefly, again, what I mean.
BitCoin was, initially, about establishing a money that has
1) A public ledger
2) A fixed supply of units
3) Surety that neither of those two can be manipulated (without unrealistic resources at hand)
Fiat-currencies are affixed to national militaries (the US spent 8% of it´s naitonal budget on ammunition in 1990),
and fiats are subject to manipulation through _concealment_ and _inflation established as a goal_ (in order that politicians may move fast in a changing landscape.
Satoshi is one way of inflating the supply, but it is still public, and - it is not affixed to a nation.
Satoshi brings us to the next concern, but first;
This is my way of laying out the landscape
1) At the base cryptos have blockchains that make sure they aren´t inflated
2) On top of that you get derivatives of base coins that _will_ make inflation
The other prerequisites for making fair money are interesting, but not to me in this question, right now;
What crypto currencies, that are famous and well funded, would you place in Category no.1 - Web 1-money, and which would you place in Category no. 2?
To reiterate
Web 1-money are like protocols like TCP and IP - you know they are there, but you don´t really think about them, or use them in your every day.
We invest and compete to find the best solutions for TCP and IP;
Some are safer than others, meaning they will take longer to crack
Some are more liquid than others, meaning they sacrifice security for rapid exchanges.
Which currencies do you see fit into thee categories, and, more importantly,
which coins, such as #Doge, #Pepe (which I see as hype for BitCoins in general), and others like this, or more refined, do you see as Web 3?
-25.000 coins have been made and the vast majority of them are neither about
safe havens, or
liquidity, but about
projects
Can you sum up the leader-coins in these three camps, with the understanding that there´s a pyramid-shape here, with the fewest on top and the most at the bottom?
Can you explain why you think these coins you think are bound to come out ahead in this race for pole positions?
Thanks
