An Essay Outline - Is 'Blockchain Technology' Really An Advancement In Technology?
Introduction
Today's world has seen 'advancement in technology'. In broader context, this can be seen as 'evidence of innovation'. Humans have kept seeking excellence!
One recent 'innovation' in technology is 'blockchain'. Its advent occurred just more than a decade ago. 'Blockchain' is growing in popularity, now used by the likes of 'IBM, Microsoft etc' as the technology behind their databases. However, does "blockchain" equate to an 'advancement in technology' or is it a setback instead.
While it is in our nature to relish the advent of 'new innovation', it is pertinent to ascertain the value of these innovations, to maximize its use and keep 'humans' relevant in an earth filled with humans. Therefore, let's attempt to discuss the following: "Is Blockchain Technology Really An Advancement In Technology?"
Main Body
- The history of blockchain.
In this segment, focus especially on 'the reason for its advent'. Establish its core utility. Next, identify if 'preceding technologies' offered this 'core utility'. Conclude on whether 'blockchain' serves a unique purpose.
- Unique features of blockchain.
Establish the 'primary facets/features of blockchain' that is unique to it. Next, highlight the 'secondary facets/features of blockchain'. Conclude by comparing 'blockchain' to its 'counterpart technologies' (e.g traditional databases).
- Case-Study Of 'Blockchain Technology' In-Use.
In this segment, take a look at 'https://www.marlians.com', a social-network platform that makes use of 'blockchain technology' (i.e the steem blockchain) to store its data, in comparison to 'https://facebook.com', a social-network platform that uses 'traditional databases. Draw comparisons and establish. To conclude, look into reasons why Facebook is adopting 'blockchain technology' and introducing their own blockchain called Libra, in 2020.

Conclusion
'Innovation' in general doesn't always equate to 'an advancement'. This applies also to 'innovation in technology'. New technologies need to be analyzed and established as 'an advancement'.
Looking into 'blockchain technology', it is conclusive that it constitutes an 'advancement in technology'. Before the advent of blockchain, 'data' was stored using 'traditional databases', which were 'centralized' in nature. In effect, 'data' could be tampered.
'Data' is an integral part of the 'workings of any society ' (and the world at large). 'Data' thus, needs to be immutable to constitute 'valid data'.
'Blockchain technology' offers databases that are immutable, decentralized and distributed.

On steem?
Self proclaimed community watchdogs are actually hacking and stalking people.
This group https://steemit.com/@steemspeak is ran by https://steemit.com/@fyrstikken, They are hacking people that enter this discord server https://discordapp.com/invite/sqxV63P . Once you are hacked they profile you long enough to know all of your activities. They introduce workplace gangstalking visits and bring it to your attention cleverly and discretly so only you get it. They are very covert and tricky with everthing they say and do in this server. Some claim to have worked for or are working with the FBI and the NSA. Mixed with decomisioned traders and coding criminals, Its a scary mix of creepy people and thier intent is to drive you crazy and deplete everything you have ever aquired in life, even your freedom.
My hacking started with them introducing ransomeware that has options, dump my coin or delete my system drive. They acnowledged this to me in the server as it happened.
This hacking and stalking is done so they can manipulate the target to pump and dump for them. Threating and Making victims wear head phones, so nobody in your household can hear thier dramitization towards you. In 2017 this server was sidemarked as a drama show for entertainment purposes only as en excuse to say whatever they want all the way down to killing a politician. They have a server side command called "hey asshole" making a promt come up instructing everyone to wear headphones. They want everyone wearing headphones so nobody in your vicinity can hear them mess with you. Fystikken says its because of "mic feedback" but once your a target you get exactly why they make eveyone wear headphones.
With headphones on they subliminally direct victims with very low suggestive whispers mixed into their radio shows music. Combine this with them being able to manipulate their own individual outputs sound volume, which they control on the server side, they can pick what individual people hear and what at any given time. They decide who you hear on the server and change the volume controls for them. They can make some really low or off for those trying to investigate. They control who hears what and know who is who.
This team will find absolutely everything they can about you prior to using thier sugjestive and threatning program. They Introduce pictures that mean something only to the target, inducing paranoia while they watch and listen thru all of your circumvented devices. They are very aware of what makes you tick. They know your work schedule and use it for work stalking along side of this. I received multiple threating letters to my work and home addressed to my screen name from this group.
Fyrstikken tells people to sell their houses to buy crypto then dumps it on them. He has done many pump and dump scams. Quatloo being one of the first I witnessed and was done multiple times thru 2016 and 2017 them. It should be investigated for fraud. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=655793.0
