What a day and it is yet to be over and, I have to be up at 3am for an early flight out of Finland. The worst thing is, I am so far behind on answering comments and I might not get to them tonight or tomorrow night either.
Normally I am pretty good at answering the comments I receive and I definitely don't take them for granted but, I don't do well replying to them from the phone. I feel like the comments I answer from the phone are not as well developed as the ones from a keyboard, for me the is not the connection through the small screen or perhaps it is because I can't see the entire reply.
I don't like posting from the phone at the best of times but currently it is almost the only way I am able to get a chance to post at all as it really has been insanely busy. I am going to have to completely develop my presentation from the hotel now as today was filled with other tasks. In time, I will have the depth of knowledge where this will be fine but right to now I need space to learn and time to create.
I know a lot of people post comments from the phone but for those who use both phone and normal keyboard, do you notice the difference in your replies? I wonder if there was a word count it would tell a story as I would assume that the comments are shorter from the phone and likely, shallower. I would also make the leap that the relationships created are weaker also, based on the shorter, shallower responses for practical purposes.
There is likely some scientist that has researched the difference, but since I am on my phone I won't check :)
I'm looking forward to travelling tomorrow though and I did pack my camera for just in case I can get a free minute to walk around the city. I am also looking forward to a good night's rest in the hotel as the last few have been quite horrendous with late nights, early mornings and a sick child between.
Before I get to bed tonight though, I have to pack as well as make sure I have all resources available on my laptop for the training. I am lucky in that regard though as it is part of what my company specializes in. At some point, I plan on leveraging their talents to develop a Blockchain solution for their clients.
I think a lot of people still have the sense of competition between chains which is not likely to be the case once things really start swinging in the industry. All projects have a good chance of succeeding if they actually have a use case and solution that works. More and more, the projects are going to have to convince the general public why a Blockchain or a token is the way to go. At the moment, I think most projects target people who have already accepted a tokenized future, not the normies.
This is going to be the strengths of social and community-backed projects as they lower the barriers of entry for normal people to not only get involved, but start earning, using, transferring and most importantly, understanding why it is a better solution for them, even if not as polished as the centralised platforms or currencies.
It will take a fair bit of education to get the next round of users in well but after that, the bandwagon effect will kick in and the flood into crypto services will start. By then, the large investors will already hold a strong position and be driving the herds toward their corrals. While I am looking forward to all the good of mainstreaming, I will also miss the uncertainty and excitement of these days. Sure it is the Wild West but, playing gunslinger is a bit of fun.
Time to pack, but maybe back later if I can.
