    (i) Innumerable media applications just like Odysee, X, Reddit, Zerohedge, Drudge Report, etc. powered by the same Arweave technology stack which makes them privacy focussed, customizable, and censorship resistant.

    This part doesn’t sit well with my me. Tone is a bit too bombastic.

      I know nothing about Odysee other than including themselves amongst those shit brands tells me they’re likely full of shitheads too.

      Eta: lol, a media sharing site based on block chain. That’s all I need to know.

        Yeah Blockchain is a massive warning flag.

        There are only two real use cases for Blockchain

        1. Financial speculation (very risky one, somewhat like trying to time a pyramid scheme)
        2. Various types of fraud

          No, there’s one use for Blockchain. An immutable public ledger with no trusted authority

          That’s useful for a lot of things - just not everything (and it has been shoved plenty of places it doesn’t belong)

          AKA

          1. Investment (very profitable if you stick to the large market caps and avoid obvious trash like Odysee/NFTs/shitcoins)
          2. Decentralized finance

          1. validating financial transactions (in regular markets/banks/etc),
          2. ensuring data integrity (i.e. tamper-proofing) in databases,
          3. spotting people who talk out of their ass
