The Future of Blockchain
With the [price](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-price) of [Bitcoin](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-bitcoin) briefly surpassing $100K, all eyes are focused upon [cryptocurrency](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/cryptocurrency).  This really is nothing new since that is the use case that gets all the attention.


As stated in the past, believing that [blockchain](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/blockchain) is crypto is akin to thinking [email](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-electronic-mail-email) is the [Internet](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-internet).  Nobody in their right mind would consider this.  Instead, email is a component of the Internet.


Cryptocurrency (or [digital](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-digital) assets) is the same.


Blockchain offers are great deal more than simply the ability to transfer value without a centralized entity.  When it comes to utility, [finance](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-finance) is not the largest [market](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-market).  We can see many others that surpass this in size and scope.


There is a reason why the market cap of Big Tech firms far outpace those of [financial institutions](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-financial-institution).  


For example, JPMorgan is the largest U.S. financial institution with a market cap of almost $700 billion.  To contrast, there are 9 [technology](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-technology) [companies](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-company-business) that exceed that, with the likes of [Apple](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-apple-inc) and [NVIDIA](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-nvidia-company) each being 5 times the size of JPMorgan.


This ought to tell everywhere where the value resides.


## The Future of Blockchain


The future of blockchain comes from its characteristics.  


Cryptocurrency excelled because blockchain offers the ability to transact without a 3rd party [intermediary](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-intermediaries-financial).  This means decentralized [consensus](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-consensus).


That said, there are some features which are even more important to the future path of humanity.  One is the [permissionless](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-permissionless-blockchain) and [immutable](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-immutable) nature of blockchain.  Here is where we see a massive needs arising.


We discuss [data](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-data) a great deal.  This is one of the most important concepts in the digital age.  It appears few realize how much of [human](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-human) [history](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-history) can be zapped be a centralized entity.  Large sections of information can disappear instantly.


With the path that many [governments](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-government) are presently on, we know deleting or censoring of information is becoming commonplace.  Here is where blockchain provides the solution.


 <center> https://img.inleo.io/DQmbGkJB5kNHxMt1eZUR2JbFeGHybL2r6o1HkcdqL95d45R/wikileaks.png </center>


Using blockchains for immutable data is crucial.  Wikileaks is a prime example of some of the information that those in power want to disappear.


>Julian Assange’s monumental 2010 release of the Afghan [war](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-war) Logs marked a turning point in [transparency](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-transparency), revealing classified details of US [military](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-military) operations during the Afghanistan War.


>According to a recent report by The Block, a new initiative now aims to ensure these records remain permanently accessible by inscribing them onto the Bitcoin blockchain via Project Spartacus.


[Source](https://cryptonews.com/news/wikileaks-afghan-war-logs-to-be-permanently-archived-on-bitcoin-blockchain/)


Permanent archival is crucial.  Not only is it vital to expose [corruption](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-corruption), our history is contained in the daily events that are posted online.  When a [corporation](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-corporation) can wipe out decades worth of information, something that Paramount did when it shut down MTVNews, there is a problem.


Some might feel [music](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-music) is not critical information.  There could be some validity to that view.  However, is it wise to underestimate [culture](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-culture) on the shaping of society?  Music, like many [arts](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-art), is am important component to human history.


If this information was stored on a blockchain, it would be permanent.   People could access it decades into the future.


The situation is obviously compounded when we are focusing upon government corruption and the slaughter of large segments of a population.


Naturally, this is nothing to do with [money](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-money) or market activity.  Just consider the amount of information that is crucial for human history that is out there.  All of this can be saved using blockchain.


  <center> https://img.inleo.io/DQmeVuaZbrKftqip3vC7eMuvT21HuD7cmajuZYFovkH5sy3/internetarchival.png  </center>


>Instances of censorship are growing to the point of normalization. Despite ongoing litigation and more public attention, mainstream [social media](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-social-media) has been more ferocious in recent [months](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-month) than ever before. Podcasters know for sure what will be instantly deleted and debate among themselves over content in gray areas. Some like Brownstone have given up on [YouTube](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-youtube) in favor of Rumble, sacrificing vast [audiences](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-audience) if only to see their content survive to see the light of [day](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-day). 


[Source](https://brownstone.org/articles/they-are-scrubbing-the-internet-right-now/)


This is why blockchain is crucial in the digital age.


## Agentic Internet


We have dove into this topic a great deal so we will only briefly touch upon it.


The future of the Internet is autonomous.  We already see more than half the traffic online generated by [computers](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-computer).  This will only accelerate.


[Coinbase](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-coinbase) is already working on [AI agents that are tied to crypto wallets](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/learn/docs/based-ai-agents).  This is another move of computers talking to other computers.


Generative [AI](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-artificial-intelligence) is a new form of computing.  Like the personal computer, the real value was when computers could interact with each other.  AI agents [hold](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-hold) great promise.  However, the real value will be unleashed when they can autonomously interact.


This is what many are working upon.


The danger is having these on centralized platforms.  Obviously, Coinbase is no different from [Google](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-google-company) or Meta in this instance.  It is a centralized platform that seeks to control all that is done.


Decentralized blockchains provide the ability to run AI agents outside a corporation.  Just like crypto [transactions](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-transaction), a company platform is not required.  This can be done on blockchain, eliminating the 3rd party.


At the moment, this seems insignificant.  AI agents are new.  The progress is limited.  Like most things with AI, it is moving rapidly.


We are looking at the end of 2025 as the turning point.  By then, these will be prevalent.  Once again, who is in control?


Blockchain provide the perfect answer: nobody.


Just like Wikileaks putting data on Bitcoin, we see the same with AI agents.  The entities are not controlled by xAI, Coinbase, [Amazon](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-amazon-company), or Tencent.  Instead, they will operate independent of 3rd parties, something that is crucial.


People understand the concept that "data is the new oil".  Unfortunately, their actions move in a another direction since they seem to direct the potential [wealth](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-wealth) from this "commodity" to the Big Tech.


Blockchain is the answer if people will embrace it.

**This really is nothing new since that is the use case that gets all the attention.** Hahaha, I guess it all about how it was introduced. It is a difficult one now to change the mentality of the people.
Nevertheless, crypto is not blockchain, there were times I also mistaken this, data goes beyond finance. Big tech are grabbing asmuch of this new oil as they can. Individuals too ought to learn from this.

I must confess this is one use that never crossed my mind probably because I never saw music as something that needs any form of encryption. This could perhaps be an area that could be tapped into in the future when the need arises.

Highly clarifying and insightful points, once again.
Personally, I have appreciated the following features of the blockchain so far, with many more that I haven't even got to know yet, and many more still coming and in store in the future, I think:
1. It is perhaps the smartest new breakthrough in technology right now.
2. Its full potential has not been assessed yet.
3. It follows a process of self-development that feeds itself and receives feedback from society (social money?) akin to the concept of a cybernetics model, and there is nothing to match it at the moment.
Really cool!!!
