Useful Blockchain patterns
The world of blockchain is full of (apparent) paradoxes!
-
speculative value surpresses real-life value
-
most trade is centralized off-chain and not decentralized on-chain
-
physically very decentralized and redundant computing model, logically 1 shared system
-
"smart contracts" simply carry out code
-
...
Blockchain can help us! Sometimes by using it, more often by making us consciously think about concepts such as value, decentralisation, trust, governance and then not applying them.
