Others will do this better, but I can't help myself...
- Helps refugees with no documentation prove where they are from and which countries they have travelled through, no one has disputed that
People can do this, already.
- Allows ANYONE even a 6 year old, to make money from next to nothing so long as they have a mobile phone and laptop. I find it quite a revelation that school children can be financially free before they even leave school, by learning how to trade and invest. No one has disuputed that, because it's a fact.
Teaching children to make money for doing nothing. Sounds shit. Next..
- Makes markets much more transparent and efficient, stopping any fraud from happening because everything is out in the open. No one can disuptute that, because it's a fact.
Ten thousand new opportunities for theft and fraud, and nobody will believe the victim because
code doesn't lie.
- Zero knowledge proofs will allow people to prove something is true or false, without having to disclose any information. No one can dispute that, because it's a fact.
I want my proof tangible. I
want the information.
- Companies will be able to do business with each other in a highly secure manner, in ways they couldn't previously, using trustless systems such as the Baseline protocol, A Microsoft invention, secured by Ethereum. No one can dispute that, because it's a fact.
Just trust Microsoft and whoever writes the code. Or have in-house coders, or everyone has to learn to code. Sounds shit, expensive, impractical and pretty inhuman. Anyway on we go...
- Companies that have all of their transactions (Internal and external) on blockchains can be audited in seconds, saving time, money while cutting fraud, with transparency that is trusted by investors. No can disuptute that, because it's a fact.
That already happens with software like Intuit Quickbooks, that I can use myself, and supply chain databases already exist, that people can operate. Every keystroke can be recorded, CCTV etc etc etc there are already a myriad ways of proving what happens, when, and by whom in virtually any process.
- Blockchain is and will be used much more in elections to cut out election miscounts, fraud, intimidation as well as making counts almost instantanious. No one can dispute that, because it's a fact.
No it won't. Voting is a human process, people want votes counted by people who are being watched by other people. Any other method will inevitably be contested.
- Blockchain can be used to store personal qualifications in a secure and private manner, cutting out fraud in the jobs market. No one can dispute that because it's a fact.
Irrelevant, I have a safe and will bring my certificates in person.
- Blockchain will be used to make the housing market much more efficient. If government data is also on the blockchain, including deeds, restrictions, pending planning permission, then the whole process of buying and selling will become a lot more efficient. No one can dispute that because it's a fact.
Rubbish. Plus, who cares? The housing market is poisoning our society, it badly needs to crash.
- Property rights are much better protected on the blockchain, making it easier for people to put up their property as collateral, with a much better and fairer loans system, that won't discriminate against people. No one can dispute that because it's a fact.
Property rights ffs. Heard of the law? The police? Plus, 'property rights' ffs. As I said above, read the room.
- Local communities have much better tools to organise in their areas, setting up DAOs to govern their groups, without fear of having bank accounts shut down if they don't align to certain narratives, or having their funds stolen. Those groups will find it much easier to run their own wealth funds to help out those in need within their own communities. No one can dispute that because it's a fact.
Yeah, or they could just use the library, school gym, church hall or community centre, like they always have.
This is getting silly now, however...
- People can (and do) work for protocols rather employers, because protocols don't discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, religion or political beliefs. No one can dispute that because it's a fact.
Yes and as pointed out above, an
inability to discriminate may not be the best way to even out social inequalities.
- Allows people with no ID, to particpate in the economy. No one can dispute that, because it's a fact.
Like cash then.
- Allows people to run websites without fear of censorship, raising money without fear of a financial institution cancelling them. Censorship resistant money and freedom of speech are almost the same thing. No one disputes that, because it's a fact.
Because websites are the only way to communicate? I'm amazed humans ever managed to develop culture at all before www3, thank all our irrelevant gods we now have coders to help us optimize our humanity.....etc
I won't if you don't. Deal?
