Internet platforms have unlocked incredible amount of value by efficiently bringing together creators and consumers of goods, services and virtually any kind of content. However, those platforms are losing users due to variety of privacy issues and scandals inherent in extreme centralization. It is now abundantly clear that virtually all of the power and wealth in the current internet landscape is concentrated in the hands of the very few and they lack the motivation to spread that wealth. That power is wielded to protect moots, monopolize, exploit profitable creators (which now have little choice due to monopolization) and arbitrarily censor.

Pocketnet brings the foundations of Bitcoin to the world of internet platforms. All of the enormous value created by the platform is shared among players in the Pocketnet ecosystem in a transparent predictable way. No centralized entity exists that can disenfranchise creators by reducing their share of pay after they achieve success. Each creator earns an amount of Pocketcoin emission proportional to the success of their contributions to the platform. In addition, Pocketnet Direct Marketplace for self-serve advertising allows  ad buyers to buy advertising from specific creators using trustless multisignature transactions. Ads can be predesigned or custom placement, where creator has freedom in presenting the ad. This is different from traditional platforms where vast majority of wealth is now clawed back by the shareholders of platforms.

Pocketnet is built to have elements comparable to current successful platforms such as Google, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Snapchat, Patreon and Wikipedia along with completely new features. Illegal content policing is done by platform creators who are verifiably invested in the success of the platform.  This whole package of publishing, peer-to-peer communication, money transfers, internet search is based on equal nodes running the Pocketnet blockchain and the possibility of building multiple interfaces to suit needs of different users. As exodus from traditional corporate publishing and social platforms accelerates, users will look for platforms where they own content, subscribers and monetization channels.

According to a legal report released in July 2018, the country’s lawmakers are considering legalizing the multi-million dollar sports betting industry – naming cryptocurrencies as a legally acceptable payment method akin to credit and debit cards.

Bitcoin hit a two-month high over the weekend, as the world’s leading cryptocurrency continues to recover from its worst ever start to a year.

The price of bitcoin reached above $7,700 on Monday, according to CoinMarketCap, up by almost $2,000 since the end of June. Its current value is still a long way off its 2017 peak, when it reached close to $20,000 amid a flurry of interest in the virtual currency.

Also, this is only the first part of the blog. In future installments I will focus on how cryptocurrencies and ICOs done properly can restore capital formation in the free economy. Please subscribe ))

Yes, I agree. I am not trying to justify it, just pointing out the hypocrisy of the media focusing on crypto frauds and not on the traditional financial frauds which are literally millions of times larger.

Can cryptocurrencies and ICO restore capital formation in a free economy?

Looking at many altcoin pump-and-dump schemes and many recent ICOs, the title of our blog can probably elicit no more than a smile. After all, didn’t ICO market become synonymous with half-baked projects, outright frauds, and intergalactic bridges to nowhere never to be built?

Yes, there is quite a bit of fraud going on. However, what people forget is that this fraud pales in comparison to the fraud we witnessed in the current financial system over the past two decades. Just recall the housing bubble of 2003-2008. Garbage real estate loans were securitized and sold as investment vehicles. Investment banks have taken CCC rated loans, combined them into tranches and somehow put out AA securities (magic!). Of course, S&P and Moody’s had to rate those vehicles. But the mathematical models used to create those instruments were so opaque, that it was not hard to fool the public. And rating agencies were only happy to be paid to rate those pyramid schemes.

I think we are seeing the first signs of how regulators and bankers will be trying to choke cryptocurrencies. It is unlikely that they will directly ban bitcoin or most of the cryptocurrencies. More likely, their attack on censorship resistance of cryptocurrencies will take place along two main vectors: https://getbitcoins.io/blog/index.php/2018/05/03/monero-privacy-coins-and-the-dog-that-didnt-bark/
