If you’re starting to feel like you’re in some kind of a live punk’d version of The Sting (the classic Robert Redford, Paul Newman film for our younger readers) then you are not alone. Put another way, those of you who are beginning to feel that we’re not only living in an “upside-down world,” as some conservative pundits are wont to say, but are living in a world that has fully become one big con job, divorced from truth, then join the crowd.One of the active ingredients in this false construct of today’s fabricated reality is the notion that if it’s truthful it must be verified on the blockchain.

I am thankful to have come of age before all this high-tech mumbo jumbo. If the truth were known, the detrimental effects probably outweigh the benefits.

I had to look up the definition of "blockchain".
Seems to me there was greater security when records were kept in handwritten ledgers.

It wasn’t just the handwritten ledgers. It was a population who believed in God, the Ten Commandments, honesty, charity, family, morality, values and fact.
We now have a few generations who believe that truth is whatever they want it to be.

Honestly even reading about how stupid the proposition is, is too stupid to bear doing.
Block chain is a hot phrase so therefore stew it into everything relevant or not.
I definitely feel widely conned. And widely pitched by circus barkers using exotic words to get me to come see the dog faced boy. Even on my computer and soon on other appliances. Will it be possible to buy new appliances that are not smart- connected to the web, the Internet of Things?
I guess if you raise the children to love it they will love it.

It is worse than A said blue , B published it. The individual who sits on the FISA court is fully aware of this slight of hand as he issues the warrant. Now we find out that the person the FISA judge reports to - the Chief Justice of the united States is also fully aware and part of this conspiracy. This culture has passed for law enforcement and jurisprudence for the last four years or more This culture has run the 2020 farce called
the general election and given us the Nov 3 results. Jan 6 is the last slim chance!

#2,
I am 63 years old and a crypto enthusiast. I have studied this stuff since about 2016.
The danger of a world that is digital and CENTRALIZED, such as Wikipedia, is that anyone with access to the digital information can, with ONE action, ALTER the record. With traditional banking one is relying upon THEIR bank to keep and maintain accurate records. If a bad actor can take over that bank - or a a government even - then one's assets at the bank can be altered easily.
With a BLOCKCHAIN, the ledger does not exist at the bank. The ledger exists in it's entirety in the hands of each and every account holder. And each account holder has a vested interest in maintaining the chain to protect their assets. Everyone has a ledger. Everyone. It is DE-centralized. No bank is needed as a central authority to maintain it. It is maintained through the perpetuating consensus of all parties involved and the only way to take control of anything that is a past blockchain event would be to have control of 51% or more of the blockchain. For large blockchains that is a practical impossibility. Other smaller blockchains 'piggy back' on the larger ones by notarizing their chains periodically inside of the larger ones.
But, the real point is this. Blockchain does NOT mean 'true'. It DOES mean permanent. A Bitcoin transaction made in 2014 is still there for all to see, Nobody can erase it. If a message were encoded into a blockchain then nobody can go make a change to it.
So, blockchain is more like an indestructible paper copy of a ledger that EVERYONE has access to.
If you are interested in learning about a NEW blockchain that is also PRIVATE - epic.tech is a good place to start.

These days I truly feel like I/We are living in a matrix; some kind of alternate universe of blockchains and fake news. Wow! Never would have imagined this kind of life when I came of age 40 years ago. Weirdness reigns.
Actually, God reigns, He's just giving our country what it deserves. So much mumbo-jumbo in this article that I don't follow (mostly because I don't want to). Jesus, we need your return now!

It's like "The Cloud"... Oooooooo! We can store stuff in a cloud? How cool is that??? Problem is it's just a Data Center with a bunch of servers interconnected with other Data Centers with a bunch of servers. We are sold a new term that makes Big 4 Consulting Firms 100's of Millions of Dollars every year! "Your not on the cloud...gasp?" CEO buys some bogus software to put the company in someone else's Data Center...then they have security and Service Level Agreement issues. Oops... Who knew! Current App Development uses "Agile". This will be replaced within a year with some new "cooler" approach to Project Management...and it will be just another time waster for the Process Nazis!
