General Discussion / Re: And so it begins.
« on: November 07, 2014, 01:34:12 am »So, how do we start?Biggest issue for me is that I have a hard time predicting how the masses will react and that seems to be a rather important aspect in this. So the best I can do for now is to try and bring some awareness and at least talk about it. I have no idea how it is in other countries, but I can tell you there is not enough talk about this in my country.
All I am saying is that I agree with the problem... as far as a practical solutions/path/approach, I have not heard any, yet, and I have not come up with one on my own.
So I'm thinking along the lines of the 2 main paths I mentioned in my post: 1). Try to "fix" the current system and comply or 2) try and make an independent alternative. Both have some serious difficulties, but if the old system is rotten beyond repair, it might be advisable to at least also consider more radical solutions even if those will not "pay-out" or bring immediate profit.
I do not believe that there are no possible ways to use blockchain technologies without being completely reliant on on- and offramps and I'm not talking bts(x) here. To me that requirement seems to be the biggest stumbling block. While I'm able to come up with several concepts and applications, I admit that I have not been able to think of one that will attract speculators and people only interested in the short term gains expressed in dollars.
