This article should be the README before getting into Crypto world.
First article to point out 21.co. What is their product ???
Read on twitter - A guy asked MA a question for 100$ on 21.co platform, got "NO" as answer.
100$ for a NO...So a guy spent his hard earned 100$ on a question to a VC.
VC made money, Donated that to charity to show off and gather "philanthropy" point in his smug circle, got tax savings maybe, his invested firm 21.co made money, 21.co vanity metric of donating to charity increased further.
Before you go on spending on Ergonomic what not setup. Try therapy.
Google it first - kind of pain (sharp or constant ) you have , exactly where you have ( thumb side or ulnar side), what movements are restricted by affliction, is it nerves or muscle etc...spend sometime finding what you have. Consult doctor if you have to.
Start therapy ...most of the time it's stretching/compressing exercise once or twice a day. You can easily see the improvements once you do therapy.
I recently suffered from ulnar entrapment syndrome ...googled it, watched videos, did suggested stretching for 2 weeks i guess. All healed.
Do blockchain people have any other arguments other than decentralization, security, probable future monetary incentive. These arguments although sound have become cliched, every whitepaper has the same arguments, same methodology, same roadmaps, substitute noun and you have got a whole new whitepaper.
It's the lack of ideas of use of blockchain.
Ohh that business is centralized, ohh that guy is making so much money off it, ohh they sell user data, ohh they got hacked !! lets decentralize that business, lets make some crypto money while we can ( and unload it on suckers when crypto hits high ). we got hacked (oops) ...it wasn't us it's the underlying layer under the layer on which our "smart" contracts are based.
I don't care if zuck or anyone is making millions for a centralized product ..he should be he made that product. It was needed that's why people use it.
Data isn't safe with centralized network, they misuse it ..heck i have got a choice to share what i want, i can control it. Maybe educating yourself on what and what not to share is better.
Networks get hacked ..use 2FA, go MI6. Not everything comes with lifetime guarantee.
what if I don't want to make money off your blockchain protocol or ICO or early adopter incentive or what not.
I am curious to know reason other than mentioned above on why should anyone care about blockchain based protocols/networks etc.
Good: Hardly any entry of "Uber for X". That's a relief considering most "uber for X" are not viable businesses.
Bad: we are going after "billion dollar market". How do you even estimate the market size ?? why dream of revenue in billions why not millions. A small company can be a great company.
Bad: 50%-60% companies from day 1 or day 2 do not have mission critical business. Their business is finding a problem for some kind of solution that claim to have.

Poor soul who asked question, got scammed.
