With the opportunity to create new foundations for our system as a whole.</p>\n<p><strong>Let me explain.</strong></p>\n<p>Contracts, &nbsp;transactions, and their registrations are an integral part of the &nbsp;structure of our economic, financial, political and legal system. They protect our assets and demarcate our organizational boundaries. They govern the interactions between nations, organizations, communities and individuals.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTjR8MezGz5667ErBdFRPGUosFvtyaixcdguMW9FRdrPT/blockkkk.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>And yet the bureaucratic tools for their implementation have not kept pace with the digital transformation of our economy. Indeed &nbsp;the fastest way today to transfer large amounts of money from one end &nbsp;of the world to another is still to take the first plane with a cash &nbsp;briefcase. But in this digitized world of ours, this contractual and transactional organization must change.</p>\n<p>And the Blockchain, this technology at the heart of Bitcoin and crypto-monaies offers us a solution to this problem.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV8peh2fd7Mfqtn28R1i5MqvBN1kEb17SVKEJPHQffumx/blockchain_0.gif\" /></p>\n<p><strong>To understand this, let's look at the origins of the Internet.</strong><br>\n</p>\n<p>One of the key components of its infrastructure are the network protocols; <strong>who are on the Internet what the code of the road is to driving</strong>. These &nbsp;protocols all have a distinct role and they bring together the rules &nbsp;that allow us to connect networks globally and to exchange information &nbsp;instantly. (HTTP &nbsp;for access to information, TCP / IP for information routing and SSL for &nbsp;encryption ...) To understand this let us look at the origins of the &nbsp;Internet.<br>\n</p>\n<p>One of the key components of its infrastructure are the network protocols; who are on the Internet what the code of the road is to driving. These &nbsp;protocols all have a distinct role and they bring together the rules &nbsp;that allow us to connect networks globally and to exchange information &nbsp;instantly. (HTTP for access to information, TCP / IP for information routing and SSL for encryption ...)</p>\n<p>All these protocols are now old, and the Internet architecture still has flagrant holes. Indeed, some open and shared protocols could meet many needs:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>prevent identity theft,</li>\n <li>solve the many problems with emails,</li>\n <li>transfer money safely and freely (as allowed by the underlying Bitcoin protocol),&nbsp;</li>\n <li>give users more visibility and control over the collection and use of their personal data,&nbsp;</li>\n <li>honestly the list is long...<br>\n <br>\n<strong>But why do we see innovation in terms of protocol? &nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>This is because there are few people available to do it. The &nbsp;best developers are where the money is (logical): that is to say in &nbsp;large high-tech companies that work on platforms or proprietary &nbsp;applications (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, ...) .</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVTFhHYNPP83EsdKU5JjTkteM91XMN7cvhLRpA7BQ7vtN/book1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><strong>And these companies ignore the protocols.</strong></p>\n<p>Writing and promoting new rules for the Internet does not help them. <strong>They prefer to work on their own private version of their code which will only be applied in their exclusive ecosystem</strong>. All this in a centralized way to ensure absolute control and a power increasing at the same time as their number of users.</p>\n<p>(These &nbsp;crypto-currencies are therefore an attempt to renew innovation in the &nbsp;field of network protocols that are neglected by the giants of the &nbsp;Internet today.)</p>\n<p><strong>The key function of a cryptocurrency</strong><br>\n</p>\n<p>It consists in interesting the first users of a new protocol to its large-scale deployment. The &nbsp;more individuals who own cryptocurrencies are bound to a certain &nbsp;protocol, the more they contribute to increasing its scale of operation. &nbsp;And &nbsp;the more a protocol is used, the higher the cryptocurrency value, which &nbsp;rewards early users for the critical role they played during the launch &nbsp;phase.<br>\n</p>\n<p><strong>It is therefore a cognitive bias to assimilate Bitcoin only to a simple digital currency.</strong><br>\n</p>\n<p>Because inevitably in this case one wonders then, but what can I pay with these currencies so revolutionary? Question to which the answer is, not much now ..</p>\n<p>But to think that would reduce the scope of this technology much too much. Because it is above all <strong>a revolution of our protocols</strong> (much needed) which hides behind them. With the opportunity to create new foundations for our system. *</p>\n<p>In order to perhaps achieve restore <strong>a climate of confidence</strong> in the system as a whole. System &nbsp;currently in a period when less and less confidence is attributed to &nbsp;banks, insurance companies, governments and politicians, and where <strong>more &nbsp;and more market is becoming more crowded.</strong></p>\n<p>Disclaimer: Answer from my own article summarizing blockchain and crypto-currencies as a whole. At least an attempt to do that ahh;)</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><br></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fkuz3hh7x","appParentAuthor":"oscar55","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}"

What is the most misunderstood aspect of cryptocurrency?
<p>Most people think that crypto is a faster and easier route to acquire wealth without doing anything or doing very little.  Most people invest in some cryptos without knowing the roadmap or the real world application of such crypto. They think all crypto is a fast route to wealth.</p><p>Though someone can get wealthy by investing in the right crypto, someone can also lose his/her investment if they invest in a wrong crypto. Crypto is not an easy or faster route to wealth.  It's like any other investment that requires serious accessment.</p>
