RE: Forget Crypto ratings... the best tech doesn't always win!

in #cryptocurrency5 years ago (edited)

Absolutely, betamax is something I remember. Watching my favourite film when I was 8 years old 'the labarynth' over and over again. Until, no one stocked any of the videos for that technology.

We still have our betamax video player in the attic at my mum's house... with a box of videos that I get out and watch now and again. It's important to recognise that even though the technology became redundant, you can still use it if you want. Scart lead, 4:3 ratio on the TV... and I'm watching labarynth' or 'time bandits' on the same sofa I did 30 years ago 🙂

Who knows what blockchain I'll be accessing in 30 years, with the same feeling of nostalgia and grainy screen time 😉

Sort:  

I suspect more blockchains than we imagine will be up and running in 30 years time. Probably supported by a handful of nodes, as people's 'pet projects'. Occasionally, someone will fire up a wallet, and send a transaction or two... for nostalgia sake!
