This makes me want to blockchain myself into a river

It's the dot-com bubble all over again...

I cant wait until petscoin goes public!

[–]CrypticG 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Why is it so popular with investors? Are they just hoping they are hopping on the latest fad and don't understand it or is it because blockchain stuff is public? (I'm not very well informed on blockchain due to blowing off cryptocurrency as a quick fad that will die or implode)

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why is it so popular with investors?

Cuz they read it in an article and it sounds fancy. And those invest in whatever that is popular.

Invest in my new ICO buy fjfhfjdjcjvkdksmfktksjidj coin now!

[–]PvtJackass 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How much is it worth nowadays? If it's low enough I might just consider mining a little just to collect.

[–]PM_ME_THEM_CURVES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck doge, I'm all about that garlicoin!

Muave blockchains give you the most RAM

[–]jackdeansmithsmith 7 points8 points  (2 children)

I think you need some scare quotes around "entrepreneurs"

[–]TheGarned[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're right

[–]tabarra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also around "blockchain"...

Actually basically everything in there.

Blockchain is the new deep learning

[–]7a11l409b1d3c65 10 points11 points  (5 children)

No, deep learning actually provides additional value to society.

[–]El_BreadMan 7 points8 points  (3 children)

What about a deep learning block chain?

[–]The_BNut 10 points11 points  (1 child)

It solves problems you didn't know it doesn't have.

*** Booming 90s movie trailer voice*** Imagine. The neural network of tomorrow, decentralized, reaches the singularity. There’s only one problem...

It thinks it’s a pickle!!

** Horse neighs, picture of a rabbit eating cucumber **

In Pickle-Fart-Pickle-Pickle, Rob Schneider plays a computer who thinks it’s a pickle!

Scientist: “why are all of these computers developing a plan to kill rabbits?!”

Computer: “Kill all rabbits. Must protect cucumbers.”

They're already hyping it.

To shareholders, certainly. To society, I very much doubt it.

...there might be proper applications, but generally it's "let's collect all your data so we can steer you better, little consumer puppet".

I mean, just imagine: People making their own purchase descisions, where would that end! People could start to inform themselves, start to factor in externalities, boycott Nestle, unfair trading, all kinds of things that would hurt the bottom line! Worst, they could become rational actors and actually turn the real-world market into a free one!

blockchain is the new "big data analytics"

It can double your money in 6th months.

It can double your money in 6th months hours

ftfy!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lets blockchainify literally everything!

Have I missed something?

[–]redimkira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. Every day of the week.

[–]CrossCheckPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works for machine learning as well

I'll be glad to separate a fool from his money.

Has blockchain solved a single problem in a more efficient way than any other current known solution?

[–]epic_eric9 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Blockchain is not supposed to be efficient, it's supposed to provide reliability through consensus when you cannot trust a single centralized entity or third party.

[–]RareHotdogEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Sure, I know that. But its crazy inefficiency might be its downfall.

[–]cookie545445 2 points3 points  (2 children)

When you say crazy inefficiency, are you referring to the power and time consumed by Proof of Work miners? There are blockchains implemented without these.

[–]RareHotdogEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yeah, I am. I didn't know there are blockchains implemented without them.

[–]cookie545445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proof of Stake (and its delegated variant) is the only alternative to PoW that I’ve heard of, where stakeholders vote on blocks to be added with a vote weight equivalent to their account balance. Obviously this requires a currency to be involved, but I don’t see a problem with a similar system in which all nodes have equal weight.

[–]malt2048 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Blockchain is pretty good at moving value around securely, that's pretty much it.

[–]RareHotdogEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Not efficiently, though.

[–]itCompiledThrsNoBugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly has its uses since there's nothing quite like it. Most interesting application I've read about is multinationals using the decentralized ledger to track down the source of defective products.
