I hope it crashes and burns. It's the opposite of what crypto was meant to achieve. No central control.

- ymolodtsov 7y agoBuild something better that will get more adoption then?
- Loughla 7y agoI'm trying to understand how your statement isn't just a flippant nonsense remark. How can I, me, one person, make something that is 'better' (how do you even define that) and will get more adoption than something that is being rolled out by one of the largest and already most popular platforms? What a ridiculous statement you've made. Just a useless statement to make yourself feel superior, is what it looks like.
- matz1 7y agoIsn't most of the thing if not anything start from one person, even Facebook itself ? Are you implying that its hard ? hard != impossible.
- 50656E6973 7y agoNope, Facebook was stolen by one person though.
- matz1 7y agoStill mean that person make fb happen.

- rchaud 7y agoNo it wasn't, certainly not beyond the basic PHP web app version in 2004. Plenty of Fish is more or less than only major app that had 2 employees at the time they were pulling in millions in ad revenue. Facebook's ads business didn't even get off the ground until they had already begun to hire massively. Zuck's prototype and marketing might have brought in the users, but FB would be nowhere without its billions in ad revenue.
- eswat 7y agoPlatforms started by many people—thousands in this case—have way more leverage than a single person trying to do the same. It may not be impossible, but in this case it should be sane to assume it would be a waste of energy for a single person to attempt it.
- matz1 7y agoFb didn't start with thousand people, it start with zuck coding up (or maybe stole it) prototype in his bedroom
- eswat 7y agoShould clarify: by this case I mean Libra, not Facebook.
- matz1 7y agoSure, doesn't change the fact that libra started by facebook and facebook started by one person, zuck.
- eswat 7y agoI didn’t have Facebook,the social network way back, in my mind when trying to make my argument (I definitely should have made this clearer). Remove the history behind Facebook and just look at the numbers of the LibraCoin consortium and you’re not dealing with just one person. That’s the lens someone wanting to make a competitor should be looking through, not that LibraCoin has a long thread tying back to “just” Zuck. That catalyst has little to do with the challenge of competing with LibraCoin as it has started today.
- matz1 7y agoI'm arguing against original argument that one person can't do anything against something big. Any changes start from one person trying to do so. I'm arguing that’s the lens you should have in mind.
- 50656E6973 7y agoIt's the same as saying "if you don't like the country then leave it"
- magnamerc 7y agoIt's called Ethereum.
