The Ether Review #34 - Vinay Gupta on Rethinking Blockchain Use Cases

Published: July 7, 2016, midnight

The threat of Ethereum regulation as a result of the DAO fiasco raises the question: At its core, is blockchain a financial technology? \nThe Crypto project is viewed by many to be an effort to safeguard mankind's future. \nVinay Gupta says it\u2019s time to realign the crypto project with human survival rather than human greed.\n\nTopics Covered:\n\nWill Ethereum become regulated and merge with Fintech? Is this a bad thing?\n\nIn the event of a global financial collapse, have we built an infrastructure which will benefit the many, or enable the few to hide their wealth?\n\nIs the anarcho-capitalist/crypto-anarchist dream fading in favor of more pragmatic views?\n\nRather than finance, should we focus on problems like climate change and global popular representation?\n\nAnd what about provably fair online dating?\n\nhttps://twitter.com/leashless\nhttps://twitter.com/arthurfalls\n\nContent: Vinay Gupta, Arthur Falls
