But why @Jami is using #ethereum #blockchain instead of a #sql #database ?? That's a good question !!

@libreoffice is looking at how to integrate the #LibreOffice software with the #Ethereum #blockchain. They're requesting feedback on what the community thinks about such an integration.

If you follow the rabbit hole, it looks like Hylo is Hylozoic, Inc., which is owned by cryptocurrency startup Holo, Ltd.

In the latest episode of @uxpodcast, @Beantin and I get some help from @laura to explain how Web3 is causing a ton of harm in the world.

@aral FYI Session uses the Oxen blockchain as its database.

Do you have a position in the pro vs. anti blockchain wars?

“.01% of bitcoin holders hold 27% of all bitcoin! That’s 100x the wealth concentration of the regular economy.”

Next time someone tells you cryptocurrencies and blockchain are about decentralisation, laugh in their faces. Loudly. While pointing at them.

Listening to VC folks talk about "crypto" & "web3" is disheartening. They love critiquing "web2" for being centralized & power hording, not sharing money with content creators etc. At the same time they act oblivious to the fact that exponential growth & 10x return on investment that they themselves are insist on is what leads to that.

Just as #sql did not turn people into greedy ruthless capitalists, #blockchain will not save us from them.

Latest example I came across: https://www.stitcher.com/show/decoder-with-nilay-patel/episode/chris-dixon-thinks-web3-is-the-future-of-the-internet-is-it-202275638

Sorry @matrix, normally you're number one, but this time the page gives me excitement with another keyword. 😬

So glad people start to realise you can build viable solutions on #Matrix or the #Fediverse instead of turning everything into a #blockchain microtransaction.
