As an internet technologist, practicing in building important internet infrastructure for over 30 years, I try to explain the basics to people away from all of the dismissive narratives.
Blockchain networks are new internet operating systems; most of these networks provide a means to store data, conduct transactions on data, and execute code that can execute these transactions. They are special because they can do this and ensure that the data and code is tamper-resistant, incontrovertible, publicly verifiable, etc.
Most importantly, these networks are designed to be decentralized, providing a surface for society to engage and transact without interference, and in a direct and efficient manner, no matter the person, entity or location. This super powerful stuff for all manner of applications. 1 reply
