Just like a database, a queueing system, a web server => on their own, they don’t do anything meaningfull
Hype cycle: currently big cool down … (also in the media … even poor/no cryptocurrencies)
By 2023, blockchain platforms will scale better, become interoperable: will support smart contract portability and cross chain functionality. They will also support trusted private transactions with the data confidentiality required. All together, these technology advances will take us much closer to mainstream blockchain and the decentralized web, also known as Web 3.0,”
Silos = GAFA’s Twitter, Fb, Instagram, Amazone, Google apps => identity & personal data is in their hands ??? (it’s like being ‘naked in front of a stranger you don’t trust….’)
BC avoid 3rd parties,
by a peer-to-peer organization / network of computers of participating parties
=> Everybody has a copy of the application (dApp) => and runs that copy in their own infrastructure, (can be Managed Services Provider / cloud subscription) … BUT they control !!!
=> everybody can verify what happens with their identity & data (SSI)
Public Blockchains
notaries
Intellectual Property / Verification against ‘Fake News’ = someone can place a signed proof of the source of a publication => give trust to the reader !
