Decentralization & Tech CHANGING THE WORLD!!
❓ What Is Decentralization? ❓
In a nutshell, it is the transfer of control and decision making from a centralized entity (an individual, organization, government or company) to a distributed network. One of the most famous examples of that is BTC. The problem with centralization is that banks like HSBC can just decide to ban crypto transactions - not very fair given that it’s your money. IF that banking network was decentralized, all that would be impossible.
🌐 How Centralized Is The Internet? 🌐
Here’s the truth; every website you see online is actually hosted on a server. The bad news is that this creates a single point of failure and you have to ask yourself who owns those servers. That would be tech giants like Amazon and Alibaba. In the past, internet outages were entirely due to problems at the likes of Amazon. I go into more of these centralization problems in the vid!
🕴️ Data Barrons Are Putting Lives At Risk 🕴️
The truth is that data barons are collecting and processing a ton of our data. That can be seen in FB’s ‘People You May know’ feature. This has exposed the real identities of people like night time workers and that leads to very real security concerns.
