True, 69420 has a better ring. I think it's more of this land grab of early NFT craze. People buying whatever they can now with the expectation that it's going to go up. The US military is pretty good at lighting money on fire...
If you visit the website, the goal is put the island into a conservation trust with two public tent camping sites, its a remote island with no structures, abundant wildlife, and is currently for sale. No houses are being built on the island.
A small cabin will be built so the land trust and community members can make overnight trips out to the island for cleanup, surveys, wildlife studies ect.
Happy to answer any questions, and welcome you to come stay if we can find a benefactor. Thanks
I could not agree more, I've been so heated over the last year looking for any sort of rationale but this greed fueled fake currency explosion is driving me insane. I understand the tech, I don not understand the hype.
Still waiting for someone to name one singular measurable impact of a crypto project.
It's a solution that's been searching for a problem for over 10 years.
Decentralized, distributed, blah blah, stop drinking the koolaid.
Is a network controlled primarily by 4 mining companies decentralized?
Do you need a distributed network to sell NFTS that are only useable within the world of a specific video game company? (game nfts)
Name a project that can't be accomplished traditionally with the cloud and some code?
Name a reason why you should leave your FDIC insured government backed bank for a 3rd party wallet and incur transaction fees, gas fees, fraud, hacks ect that are equivalent to wire transfer fees cbx fees ect.
The crypto community has been spewing advantages that don't exist and solutions for problems that do. not. exist.
Sometimes it's an easy conversation starter. People like to bitch about work and speaking about all the things they dislike at the workplace. Often times it is pointing to an underlying problem though and some communication breakdown at the least.
So... will a new browser need to be created in order for this tech to go mainstream? In the case of building a web app does this eliminate the need for a server?
I think the notion that BTC or Ethereum are actually decentralized digital currencies is the biggest farce of the last 5 years. A small concentration of miners (mostly based in china) control the vast majority transactions and will continue to so based on the increased difficulity that only large economies of scale will profit from. Middlemen(brokers and exchanges) charge fees just like banks do to transact and store. The transaction fees on the chains are equivalent to that of just sending a bank wire, and your wallet is no more secure than a bank account (can still be hacked) and not FDIC insured. Where is the benefit now?
