Hello friends. Do not be intimidated by the title But I am struck by the idea of the utopian nature of the concept of decentralization in modern cryptocurrency.

Do you think cryptocurrency is truly "decentralized" at the moment?

If we turn to history, then bitcoin was originally conceived as absolutely financial freedom and a decentralized payment system, which at the moment do not correspond to the original ideas at all.

(those who disagree can googling mining pools and early coin holders)

Just like most large projects with their own blockchains and technological solutions. Take the acclaimed Solana in 2021. And what did the users get as a result? An unprotected system with many flaws, but nevertheless, such a system is called in our world "decentralized"

After all, the concept of data storage and transmission is not the whole function of decentralization, is it?

I am alarmed by the market trend and that the cryptocurrency is more and more like a stock market with exactly the same problems, where not always technological solutions that try to develop directly decentralized solutions do not receive the necessary publicity and attention. People only care about instant profit, and unfortunately, people see only profit in this, and the original idea fades into the background.

So far I do not quite understand why this is happening, because there are interesting blockchains that somehow put the development of decentralization in the forefront, like Near Protocol. I am absolutely amazed at their blockchain with a sharding system, multi-level DAO, which eradicates the centralization of human factor solutions, and it can be seen that the ideological inspirers and creators of the project really yearn for the transition of our world to a new, decentralized world.

Please share your opinion in the comments <3 I will be glad to talk with you

Take a closer look at the Near Protocol project. Great blockchain, cool technology, and a large, growing ecosystem. This will be Solana in early 2022.

Explore the gas-free Aurora network within the Near Protocol ecosystem. Several large platforms with total TVL of about $ 400 million have already been launched. Inside them, you can find APR from 1000-2000%. Recently, the WannaSwap token (connected to the Aurora network) made 40x in 2 days and did not lower the APR. This is amazing, besides there are no fees and transactions are instant.

Ubisoft, one of the most greedy companies in the world, I don't think they will be able to make such a game. This is comparable to the news that Stalker 2 will introduce nft into the world of the game, but this news turned out to be just a hype. People are not versed in blockchain and p2e will not be able to build a truly decent game that cares primarily about users. If you dream of playing Xbox and making money there, please, there are large grants for the development of games within the Near Protocol ecosystem if you have really good ideas, you can always offer them and get funds for this. If you are a blockchain enthusiast, try to grow the industry yourself.

Hello friends. Recently, many new generation blockchains have emerged that are helping to integrate web3.0 much more intensively and faster than Ethereum can.

I am not asking you to scold in defense of a particular blockchain, I want to hear constructive comments that will help me determine whether there is any sense in such projects and how they will exist in the coming years.

As you already understood, now we will talk about the Solana blockchain and Near Protocol.

Technologically, these projects are very similar and solve the same problem - the scalability of decentralized technologies on the Internet.

The projects perform almost the same function, but the Solana ecosystem is much more developed than the Near Protocol.

but in some ways, Near is ahead of Solana's technological advancement. Offering by the user gas free DeFi by means of Aurora and low commissions with a maximum commission throughput rate of 100k tps

So this is my question. By and large, the functions of these blockchains are already performed by the BSC, what is the point of developing the same technological solutions?

Perhaps this is the same as Pepsi and Cola, in fact the same drinks, but someone loves Pepsi, and someone loves Coca-Cola.

Will the cryptocurrency market come to one solution? Or the market will continue to be replenished with new "drinks"

It is very difficult to determine the value of blockchain technology and the metaverse. One way or another, the metauniverses have ideas to unite the entire planet into one virtual system, but do centralized giants need this? Here it will be up to the world rulers to decide one way or another, whether to recognize the cryptocurrency completely, or to steal this opportunity and build another centralized empire, although I do not know of any centralized system capable of passing transactions as quickly as Near Protocol, Solana, or AVAX. I don't know how they will record all actions, if there are already ready-made solutions for this ...

Hey guys!
I've been thinking a bit about the development of the metaverse and virtual universes in particular.

And so far I cannot answer this question. Will this be a centralized solution offered by the same Meta or will blockchain mostly control this market?

I am asking you this question because the future of cryptocurrency is somehow still not certain, but this is not 2017, where speculators and a sense of easy money were the main market players.

In recent years, cryptocurrencies have nevertheless set themselves the goal of developing technologies and decentralized web3.0 technologies for the general implementation of the future of decentralization on the Internet. Projects such as Near Protocol, Solana, Avalanche, Polkadot have a technological potential that can contain huge metauniverses without a heavy load on the network.

But still, what is the possibility of the existence of metaverse without blockchain technologies?

It all really depends on the ethereum team. But it seems to me that they lost the technology race a long time ago. Despite the low popularity of the Near Protocol ecosystem, it is one of the first blockchains to launch a sharding system that will support fast transaction speeds and commissions of about $ 0.1, regardless of the number of participants or network congestion. I don't know if any other blockchain offers the best conditions for the development of web3.0

Cryptocurrencies are traded in different places, and well-known centralized or decentralized exchanges are not limited to this. Most often, I use binance, gate, kucoin to buy fundamental projects.
But don't forget about DEX like Uniswap, 1inch. Also try trading on non-Eth blockchain exchanges like Pancakeswap on BSC Or Ref Finance on Near Protocol blockchain

Hi guys! I'm not a memecoin holder because I don't really believe in the upside potential of these coins (which often turn out to be a scam). And this cryptocurrency market bypassed me in 2019-20. And now, buying a new memcoin on the ethereum network will cost me a fortune, because the risks + gwei price leave much to be desired. But my question is not about that.

Most often, such coins appear on decentralized swaps such as UNI, 1inch, where investment in such projects is simply outrageous.

What can you advise me on where to find cheap new, interesting meme coins? Perhaps there are many of them on the BSC or Sol network? Perhaps similar projects also appear on other blockchains, which allow transactions to be carried out instantly without huge commissions. For example Near or TRX?

P.S. Memecoin Newbie

I think everything is determined quite simply, according to a technical document and a roadmap + a good team. A team of professionals is now one of the best indicators of the prospects and success of a project. For example, about Near, I know that many founders have top honors in global programming contests and experience in big name campaigns like google or facebook. I believe that these people definitely know what they are doing, and definitely know how to convey their vision to early investors.

What improvements are you talking about? What is the technological potential behind them? This is the first time I've heard of most of these altcoins. What do you think about Solana, Dot, Near? Aren't they solving a lot of problems and improving the decentralized app ecosystem as a whole? After all, it is these projects that will build in the future a multi-chain that will unite the entire decentralized market. But I would like to hear more about your proposed tokens, thanks.

Wallet.Near - One of the best decentralized wallets for storing tokens within the Near ecosystem. You can also store your erc-20 tokens in it, using the Rainbow Bridge to transfer them to your wallet, it's pretty simple. There are detailed video tutorials on the Internet if you are not familiar with bridges.

If you have little capital and you cannot risk it, try investing in fundamental projects that have real technological value. Don't try to catch x100-x1000, it is very difficult now. Unfortunately, the time of crazy X's is over. Take a closer look at Near, Solana, Dot, Matic, AVAX. Choose a closer project for yourself, perhaps you will be interested in some project that has its own token directly within their ecosystem.

Unfortunately, if you want to use Dapps built exclusively on the Ethereum blockchain, you will have to adjust to these unfair fees in 90% of cases. I suggest you take a look behind the Aurora Labs project, together with Near Protocol, they launched a bridge that will redirect many applications built on Eth to the Near blockchain, thereby ensuring minimal fees and fast transactions. There will be many releases very soon, so if you are interested, you can find all the information.
P.S. I don’t know if bridges of other blockchain provide such an opportunity.

For what purposes do you need a bridge between blockchains? If you are a developer on Eth, then Rainbow Bridge on Near is just perfect for you

It's sad to realize this, thank you for your opinion

The strategy is very simple. You won't pay for low-quality bread or milk in the store, will you? So I think not, the cryptocurrency market has now appeared a lot of interesting and promising, fundamental projects, and not just another "animal" token.
Take a closer look at Solana, Polkadot or Near Protocol. These projects really provide great opportunities for the introduction of web3.0 to the masses, which will undoubtedly happen sooner or later.
therefore, the cryptocurrency investment market now depends only on technology and the correct interpretation of decentralization. My opinion

Hey guys, I don’t want to breed fud here, but as everyone knows, markets have their own trends (not only cryptocurrencies) and sooner or later, the bear will replace the bull.
So, my question for discussion is this.
As we all remember from 2018, many fundamental projects with technologically strong ambitions simply did not survive it.
Over the past 2 years, a lot of cool blockchains have appeared with their ecosystems, such as Dot, Near, Solana, Matic, AVAX etc.
do you think their technological potential will be able to survive the next trend? How strongly people value technology over speculation in 2021.

Does anyone know of any other projects that are trying to combine PoW and PoS??

Hi. I'm not very good at technological formulations, but I think Aurora labs did something similar. They merged the Ethereum and Near Protocol networks into one Aurora network where smart contracts and Eth tokens can be used within another ecosystem. Sounds like a combination of PoW and PoS
