i don't believe that's real, i mean a bitcoiner thinking about the well being of future generations over their own? i guess since the price isn't shooting to the moon currently they've lapsed back into the phase where they go on and on about how bitcoin is good for the future of humanity or whatever

this is a really good talk about bitcoin and dumb crooks, from a guy who delights in cashing in prosecution futures. 40 min, but quite comprehensible on 1.5x.

The benefit of using DOCKryptoTM :
* Transform any paper document to into a digital paper (e-Paper)
* Prevent any physical cloning or counterfeiting of documents
* Track and trace any document to ensure the authentication
* Enable issuing digital copies of the original document
* Enable digital notarization whilst maintaining traditional notarization
* Build trust and transparency by preventing any issuances loops with blockchain technology
* Simplify ineffective traditional administrative processes

Depends on how much bath salts McAfee manages to snort beforehand/during.

Just for the heck of it I looked into his theory that there were lots of blockchain nazis using 1488, but as far as I can see while that number peaks out above the average, (for example, there are 2311 transactions sending 0.1488 BTC) it is not that much larger than other non-nazi amounts (there are 1594 transactions sending 0.1588, there are 1834 transactions sending 0.1388, 1417 transactions sending 0.1387 etc). Seems like the majority of "nazi" amounts are just tumblers and randomness arriving at that number, though the 14.88 BTC transaction to daily stormer was a pretty obvious message.

What do you see as the most promising 3rd layer applications that will eventually be built on top of LN?

Off the top of my head:

A new web 3.0 era Internet purged of advertising that allows 'pay what you can afford' funding models of your favourite websites. We see early versions of this with brave and lightning payment gateways.

Journalists and content creators freed from the yoke of media conglomerates which will see quality content rewarded by the crowd.

No more clickbait!

VR and in-game currencies.

Direct artist->consumer payment channels will change everything from music to high end art distribution.

An end to cable TV as we know it and Hollywood middlemen. More and more projects will do direct to crowd pitches.

An end to big pharma. We can expect academics and researchers to be able to go direct to the crowd, much like we saw with the immunology hiv project. Removing corporations and profit incentives will mean multiple researchers can collaborate worldwide instead of having to compete as they do currently.

One universal login with decentralised encrypted data layers that can be used to securely store everything from your visa applications and passport data, to medical records. This may come through blockstack / Microsoft and rolled out first to tech savvy users through GitHub (after their recent acquisition this would make a lot of sense).

AirBnB, Google, Microsoft updating legacy data stores to enable much more fluid value transfer chains and reputation management systems that can resist Sybil attacks.

An end to spam (calls and email).

Wouldn't exactly shock me if all houses in the future are bought and sold via an AirBnB sidechain that cuts out all the middlemen, including AirBnB itself which might end up becoming more of a basic utility service / public good.

Perhaps the ultimate 'exit' in the future won't be whether you can sell your startup on, but whether it can be open sourced and handed over for the crowd to maintain as a public good project. Kinda' like what happened with some railway and utility companies in the past.

We can also expect the concept of a global rent to gain traction allowing people to travel and live all over the world without needing anything but their blockstack ID. Imagine walking into a new town and seeing an AR overlay of all the vacant places you are eligible to stay in and being able to walk straight in with a smartphone tap.

Same for Lyft. Why buy a car when you can just walk up to an empty Lyft car, swipe your phone and pay per minute through the Lyft sidechain?

Could eBay one day pivot into a global tradenet powered by their own sidechain directly linking producers, suppliers and consumers? I see no reason why not.

I know you are joking, but blockchains could add accountability into military. Even such things as private corporate military would be acceptable to the general population if they could be held to precise accountability. Every decision from the top down to the bullet fired on an encrypted blockchain that can be decrypted to create accountability.

Convulated Neural Networks with money as the incentive/reward. Think about all the possibilities machines have access to when you can give them micro payments between each other. Andreas talked about this in a lecture of his. How robots will have use currency to machine learn is the future of tech and AI.

this is not necessarily true. "bath salts" is a slang term for things which are similar in structure and effect to other illegal drugs. the ones he was doing are now probably illegal but maybe not all of them and chinese chemists are always dumpster diving into academic journals for new drugs that aren't illegal yet.
