How many crypto wallets do you currently manage?
1 min read
Are people really supposed to have a separate "Wallet" app for every crypto currency they have an interest in? Trying out some tokens to understand the (fin)tech and you end up easily with a handful of non-compatible applications on the Web and on your phone. And for each of these you really need to be careful for not losing access to or them becoming obsolete or getting hacked / stolen. Can't imagine what kind of nightmare it must be for any business owner even considering accepting crypto tokens. Sure, there are "solutions" out there that have a promise to solve this, but the problem with decentralization is that literally anyone can make this whole landscape even more complex at any given time. It's not like if you wanted to drive to somewere you can only drive with a certain brand of car on a particular road, right? And which will end up ruling them all?

This is a really to the point short roundup of why Indieweb rocks - the beginning is a bit too _boring_ with many pictures of tunnels for some reason - but otherwise very ominous and cool graphics stolen from other sites! Do Decentralization next please. Very #NSFW again. So be warned.
Maybe we shouldn't want a fully decentralized web
I spent a large part of 2019 working with the distributed and decentralized web, especially IPFS, also known as the “Inter-Planetary File System”. I’ve written a few articles on the topic, on how you can host a web app on IPFS, one of which even ended up on the front page of HackerNews. decentralization, syndicated
@dietrich Congratulations! This is a great moment for #decentralization of the Web. Wondering however if this will mean that ISPs and router manufacturers will have to start taking into account that people on the Internet will become much more active than usual and add better support and hardware specs.
