RE: Steem Is Going To Create Hundreds Of Billions Over The Next Couple Years
The power of communities could be amazing.
@r0nd0n and I were discussing this a bit last night. His position is that no matter how great the technology is, the barrier to entry created by the difficulty of having your own keys and being responsible for them will always prevent crypto applications from becoming as popular as mainstream, centralized applications.
I'm a bit more optimistic that the key system can be made more user friendly.
Time will tell.
I tend to agree with you.
My experience is that technology is always difficult and too complex in the beginning. I remember, in the mid 1990s, learning CorelDraw to do some pieces for a marketing project I was putting together. What a nightmare that was. One had to be part computer scientist/part graphic designer.
How easy was the Internet before web browsers? Computing was a challenge before Windows. Hell, there was even a time that knowledge of JS was required to set up websites.
There is no reason to think that ease of use will not enter this industry also.
