Charlie is a lead learning whiz, 

Glad we got a live leader won, hear. 

Hashgraph ain't even a "Blockchain" ... per se

as we knew it Jim...

so simple 4 all the "mums & dads" playing a long @home. 


 Imagine trying to explain a bank account to your friend, but starting the technical performance of the Fed wire system, ACH payment rails, and clearing houses with secure messaging systems.

That's how people are explaining blockchain today, and it's no wonder it sounds complicated and people's eyes glaze over. The reality is that blockchains are very simple. Just like you can simply explain a bank account in one sentence the same is possible with blockchains. At the most basic level, a blockchain is a list of read/write operations that anyone can view and verify. The Bitcoin blockchain, for example, has a record of every time someone sent or received a Bitcoin. Chase, Pay Pal, Cash App and other financial payment providers maintain their own databases to keep track of user accounts and how many dollars are in those accounts. Facebook, Snap, YouTube also have databases that track your usage and your read/write operations as you are on the sites. All a blockchain really is is a shared database that anyone can see and use. If you have an account with Cash App, you can send money to other Cash App users. But if you have an account on a blockchain, you can send money directly to anyone in the world anytime instantaneously with minimal fees and no intermediaries. Blockchains are the epitome of compute operations inclusion. You will always hear me compare blockchains/DLTs to the internet, but it's uncanny how close the resemblance actually is. The first form of the internet was invented in 1969. And for the next 20 years, we had company or region specific closed permission networks (ARPANET, NSFNET, IntraNets, etc). It wasn't until 1989 that the open permissionless version of the internet termed World Wide Web was created. Just imagine if you had to use Microsoft Internet, Amazon internet or Walmart internet, every time you wanted to just get on their specific website. Wouldn't that be crazy? But that's where we are today in blockchain. We are doing to read/write operations of every type what the World Wide Web did to the internet by making it global, permissionless, and accessible. In fact, even as far back as the Enigma machine of World War II we were using primitive forms of cryptography. Having symbols represent letters and someone on the other end had to have the key. And with the WWW, how do we go about securing our messages and information? We had to come up with HTTPS. Your browser requests a connection to a server secured with HTTPS and asks the server to identify itself. The server sends a copy of its SSL/TLS certificate to your browser. Your browser checks the certificate to make sure that it is valid and that the website is indeed what it claims to be. It checks who issued the certificate and that the certificate is currently valid. If the certificate checks out, your browser and the server then establish encryption keys, which are used for encrypting the data transmitted in the session. Data is then exchanged encrypted, using the agreed keys, ensuring that the information remains confidential and secure from eavesdroppers. So here we are again... with the democratized and enhanced version of the internet. Underpinned by blockchains and DLT. Highly cryptographic messaging, operations, transfers, all with decentralized ownership and compute.... BUT..... Still in disparate networks. We are still at the internet stage where we were dealing with insulated networks and intranets. Yeah there are some bridges here and there, but simplified uses... not really. I say all of this to say to you, don't lose hope in what's happening here. Learn history, spot patterns, you know what happens next. It happened with cryptography, the web, browsers, even Tandem Computers parallelizing data in multiple servers acting as nodes in the 80s. The internet is still improving and this is the newest version of it. So what's next? Likely the widely adopted protocol language similar to http or TCP/IP even that can allow us all to seamlessly transfer and autodetect and swap across networks without having to bridge or swap assets to play elsewhere. After that... we will be one step closer to knowing we were right all along. If you are thinking just for tomorrow and not for next decade.... you've got it all wrong, my brother.
