The trend still bulling ahead, this is the consequence of Ai. The walls will continue to grow, more platforms will become tightly controlled silos, and the open internet will slowly disappear.

The web is bifurcating into the old and the new. The old systems cannot work in a web where you have no way at all to prove that someone is human. You have to KYC everybody or deal with a constantly growing proportion of fraud and bots... and even when you KYC you will still only slow what is inevitable.

Only a key based internet can remain open so that you can know that you are talking or interacting with the same entity, and only a push based payment system is compatible with a world where you could be interacting with an Ai as easily as a real human.

Gave a talk about this a couple years ago, and so far - for better or worse - the trend is fully intact.

The footage ran with the bold caption: "Long live the real king."

The purpose of proof-of-work is not to “verify transactions”, it’s to provide a decentralized clock for the Bitcoin network.
