really enjoyed this post. love how you simplified blockchain tech as an innovation that really just allows PDAs.

frustrates me though that there’s no easy way to go from the idea of PDAs to potential massive use-cases. similar to how it would’ve been impossible to go from “hey computers can now talk to each other” to “sending disappearing photos to your friends”

seems the best ideas come from really being in the weeds of a particular problem domain. all the more encouragement to just get out there and start making things i guess!

Good link to watch related to how early technology can be misconstrued or the unimaginable use cases is an old Ted Talk from Jeff Bezos about the internet. https://www.ted.com/talks/jeff_bezos_the_electricity_metaphor_for_the_web_s_future?language=en

We are so early still, not to mention the computational technology advancement relationship
