As the crypto markets go on run and ethereum price is soaring the nft space is moving slow. In this video I breakdown what common utility projects are using to stand out in this fast paced landscape. People have started stigmatizing DAO’s due to the whole daoturtles being taken off open sea. I believe every NFT project should be utilizing a DAO to handle governance in their communities. We are seeing a lot projects and founders innovate in this space but also a lot of bad actors using these pieces of utility as a buzzword to reel people in. Today’s video i breakdown each type of utility and explain how they work.
Centralized Decentralization – Transport, Energy, Solar, Powerwalls, Battery Storage
Decentralization of wealth is what creates a lot more equality in the world. But there are some elites that hoard wealth, their hoarding of wealth holds back the rest of the world by a far greater amount than what they have.
Decentralization means there is more for everyone as a result. But it’s not as efficient in someways. Which is why it also needs to be centralized. Tesla has created a decentralized centralization which is absolutely phenomenal. As a result it can create so much more abundance in the world.
It is true genius, and another reason I love this company so much. Therefore if Tesla became the biggest company in the world, the still wouldn’t have full control over you, and couldn’t profiteer with outrageous energy prices.
The future will be decentralized | Charles Hoskinson | TEDxBermuda
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Tech entrepreneur and mathematician Charles Hoskinson says Bitcoin-related technology is about to revolutionise property rights, banking, remote education, private law and crowd-funding for the developing world.
Charles Hoskinson is Chief Executive Officer at Thanatos Holdings, Director at The Bitcoin Education Project, and President at the Hoskinson Content Group LLC.
Charles is a Colorado-based technology entrepreneur and mathematician. He attended University of Colorado, Boulder to study analytic number theory in graduate school before moving into cryptography and social network theory.
His professional experience includes work with NoSQL and Bigdata using MongoDB and Hadoop for several data mining projects involving crowdsource research and also development of web spiders. He is the author of several white papers on the design and deployment of low bandwidth prolog based semantical web scraping bots as well as analysis of metamorphic computer viruses through a case study on Zmist.
Why Decentralization Matters
During the first era of the internet — from the 1980s through the early 2000s — internet services were built on open protocols that were controlled by the internet community. This meant that people or organizations could grow their internet presence knowing the rules of the game wouldn’t change later on.
During the second era of the internet, from the mid 2000s to the present, for-profit tech companies — most notably Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon (GAFA) — built software and services that rapidly outpaced the capabilities of open protocols.
It became much harder for startups, creators, and other groups to grow their internet presence without worrying about centralized platforms changing the rules on them, taking away their audiences and profits. This in turn stifled innovation, making the internet less interesting and dynamic.
Centralization has also created broader societal tensions, which we see in the debates over subjects like fake news, state sponsored bots, “no platforming” of users, EU privacy laws, and algorithmic biases.
Cryptonetworks use multiple mechanisms to ensure that they stay neutral as they grow, preventing the bait-and-switch of centralized platforms.
In short, cryptonetworks align network participants to work together toward a common goal — the growth of the network and the appreciation of the token. This alignment is one of the main reasons Bitcoin continues to defy skeptics and flourish, even while new cryptonetworks like Ethereum have grown alongside it.
DeSo Blockchain Wants to Decentralize Social Media
DeSo Creator Nader Al-Naji speaks with Caroline Hyde about building an NFT-based social network, how to use the blockchain to reinvent community platforms, and why a DeFi future could circumvent the power of Facebook.
Larry Sanger: Wikipedia Co-Founder Larry Sanger’s Vision for Decentralized Information | CLIP
Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger, learning from what he describes as the failures of Wikipedia, explains his vision for decentralized collection of information that can’t be controlled by any one group to create an online encyclopedia of information which he calls a ‘blogosphere.’
An Introduction To DApps & Blockchain Technology
Welcome back to another video! In this video, we’ll be going over blockchain technology and DApps, a.k.a decentralized applications. This is going to be more of a high-level introduction to DApps and using blockchain technology to create DApps. This topic will focus on the development side of cryptocurrency rather than the investment side.
Crypto’s Next Big Thing: Decentralized Finance Takes On Wall Street
What would a world without banks look like? The answer may lie in decentralized finance.
Decentralized finance is an emerging ecosystem of financial applications and protocols built on blockchain technology with programmable capabilities, such as ethereum and solana. The transactions get executed automatically through smart contracts on the blockchain, which includes the agreement of the deal.
“Anyone can actually build businesses on top of these protocols and using them the same way as we can today build an internet business on top of the HTTP IP protocol,” said Stani Kulechov, founder of a DeFi protocol called Aave.
Decentralized finance has captured only 5% of the crypto space, according to CoinGecko, but it has seen massive growth recently. There was $93 billion worth of DeFi assets in the crypto market as of June 2021, up from $4 billion just three years ago. To be sure, DeFi’s growth has slowed since the summer of 2020, and regulatory scrutiny from Capitol Hill has spiked over fears of crypto’s checkered past.
What is a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) in Crypto?
A DAO stands for decentralized autonomous organization and is an internet-native business that’s both owned and managed by its members. It’s becoming increasingly popular in the crypto space and is a fascinating business model and innovation.
What is DeFi? What exactly is the Decentralized Finance?
What is DeFi? Decentralised exchanges. Lending platforms.
Stablecoins. Prediction markets. Insurance. Why is DeFi popular? The downsides of DeFi.
