Block-chain is attracting a lot of new money coming in.
That new money is either not happy with the inflation or tired of the middle-men taking commission for services that block-chain does for free or way smaller cost.
I remember how the DAO was going to help fund these projects and currencies, but since that failed cause of its coding, there are hundreds of start-ups appearing all offering something which may not be unique in usage or purpose, but block-chain certified to do it much easier and cheaper and at the same time more safe.
Thats right. But all this funding via ICO for each new project is getting kinda crazy. I'm testing a lot of blockchain projects and have to convert a lots of currencies to pay for these. A huge effort in maintaining money ;) There are at least 3 currencies for the 3 cloud hosting projects I'm aware of.
Anyway, I agree it makes sense to improve and try new things. (e.g. Bitcoin is maybe not the best solution because of its actual scaling problems), just saying its hard to get some light into this jungle..
Yeah I agree, it really is hard. The countless trolls and fud-armies don't make it any easier either.
I just try to read information from reliable sources and decide for myself their potential.
