Minds aims to decentralize the social network

Decentralization is the buzzword du jour. Everything – from our currencies to our databases – are supposed to exist, immutably, in this strange new world. And Bill Ottman wants to add our social media to the mix.

Ottman, an intense young man with a passion to fix the world, is the founder of Minds.com, a New York-based startup that has been receiving waves of new users as zealots and the the not-so-zealous have been leaving other networks. In fact, Zuckerberg’s bad news is music to Ottman’s ears.

Minds and Metamask need to make this whole thing a lot easier to understand…

What is MetaMask and How to Send and Receive Ether with it?

I think it could be time to buy again. BTC,  cryptocurrency and block chain are creeping into brains of the public. Remember  the first time you heard about the “Internet” or “World Wide Web”. (This where the cliches are tossed out  like, “Yes kids there was a time without an Internet..chuckle..chuckle).  Minds.com has my attention right now because it appears to the first platform that could exploit block chain in a real way.   More to come.

Minds.com is using off-chain transactions to use block chain in a social media context
