I haven't finished digesting the video and other material, but found your article as I research about. What excites me so far is **"OPERATING SYSTEM"**.  This was the killer app that really launched the computer revolution. 

I remember the days before Microsoft and Apple. In Electrical Engineering College we programmed the 6502 Microprocessor in assembly language. Computer Science was Paschal, LISP, Fortran or perhaps COBOL for the practical business people. All done on a dumb terminal in the computer room. 

There _were_ personal computers out there. You could do spread sheets, play games and Q-Link was a precursor to the Internet, sort of a glorified bulletin board. But with the advent of the general operating system (Windows and Macintosh), things really took off. Now you had it all; spread sheet, word processer, data base, printer, disk drives, maps, encyclopedias, whatever. You had a general computer and you just added the software to do what you wanted to do. The OS coordinated everthing. 

Windows 2 came out in 1987 and now you were seeing computers in corporations everywhere. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs joined the ranks of the richest on the planet because they realized the value of a general OS. IBM, interestingly enough, missed out on the personal computer revolution. They did not see value in people having a personal computer. In a few years, it was the 90s and the Internet came along and the world has not been the same since.

The current blockchain/smartmoney situation is like the 1980s. Things are fragmented. There is a coin for this and a coin for that. Banks got their Ripple, Ethereum's got smart contracts, Bitcoin, a pure currency, rules the currency thing. Steem is a social media reinvented for the coming blockchain/Smartmoney world. Open Ledger is seeking to corral all the really big dogs. Solving the convergence of all these diverse factors is what an EOS could do as a general purpose computer blockchain operating system. And it's decentralized to boot;)
