3. Renting instead of owning is going to continue, fractional ownership on the blockchain for investment is great, but how can it be used by those not seeking diversified real estate investment, but instead as a way for renters to get something back from their lease?

2. However, with blockchain tech, even as a renter you could potentially own a fraction of the home you are renting if it is tokenized. If you own a portion of the property you would want to maintain it and see the value increase. Better for any owners involved, and renters.

1. There's always been this notion that it's better to buy something than rent because you can make money off your property and aren't paying someone else's bills. Easier said than done when more people are renting today than the last 50 years. It's too expensive to own!

I too was skeptical of every actually receiving the item... then again I'm pretty skeptical of that with everything now a days lol.

Will keep you updated! :D

I always wondered why people love living in a single season all year round. Sure, they may not want a seven month long, Canadian winter, but fall and spring are such beautiful seasons, especially fall!

Experiencing two or more seasons ftw. :D

Cool! I always wanted to try openbazaar but never took the plunge.

Reconsidering my past choices.

DutchX is @gnosisPm's trading protocol, whose pilot was launched this week on the mainnet. Community participation is open now, and a community-owned DAO that will be used for governance is in the works.

Also mentioned, an interface for a dex?

@wavesplatform version of smart contracts are live on their network, and a16z purchases 6% of the @makerdao supply, but honestly, I feel like it's been a slow week.

Anything stand out to you guys this week?

amazing.

Remember last year when everyone was saying their #token had #utility so it wasn't a security? That didn't work. This breaks down the difference between the two and why the #securitytoken and #sto may be what crypto needs right now.

@getcorl reference :)

You're absolutely right, people who really believe in it will use it regardless (if they can), but for mainstream adoption crypto will have to serve everyday needs.

My favourite use case is for the fair compensation of content creators, so I love seeing crypto in the art world.

Smaller transactions like coffee or groceries may not have 100% of the kinks worked out yet, but the fact that major purchases like cars, houses, and pieces of art can be purchased with crypto seems to be more important.

Like, did we not just skip ahead to the hardest purchases?

For those of you seeing the security token trend and wondering wtf is a security token, a simple breakdown :)

Bitcoin has had 99.992% uptime using PoW. Other blockchains using new consensus algorithms experience halting, creating tradeoffs between accessibility and consistency.

New blockchains may experience outages, but is it at the expense of usability?

True! Thanks for that sharing that proposal, it makes some interesting points.

Drew up an #infographic on #ethereum #testnets.

Feedback requested :D

I enjoyed the refreshing solution of empathy. Be an expert, but know that other experts exist and you can work together. The most knowledgeable person can quickly become the weakest link when they fail to acknowledge that they aren't knowledgeable in everything.

At first I thought... wtf... so I read it, and then I thought... touché.

Kudos to:
- titles that demand attention.
- writers that can articulate their thoughts well.
- me for taking the time to read instead of blindly judging.

This actually warmed my heart. Thank you @abocoathup for making the love between these cryptokitties possible.

@lux4light congrats on the kitten :)

#feelingmoreofaconnectiontotheinternetthanreallife

Thank you sir :) we also tried:

"we're just a blockchain startup, standing in front of a society, asking it to love crypto."

Unfortunately it was too long, saving that one for somewhere else :)

Well the problem is that crypto is used for illegal activities whereas fiat logistically can not and has not ever been used for illicit dealings.

This is a really interesting use case for Bitcoin that I haven't seen discussed very often. Can't wait for more in this series :)

Like @vbuterin says, adoption is next. We can create all the coolest software in the world but:
- people need to know it exists
- people need to see past FUD to it's true potential
- people need to use it

We're getting there, it's an exciting time :D

The potential for society to become something so amazing seems so close, yet when you step back and look at how some first world countries don't provide basic necessities to people, it's a hard dose of reality.
It may not be in our lifetime, but change is coming :)
Amazing read.

The @joerogan Podcast discussing @peepethapp! Keeeeeeewwwlll :)

Didn't know that was a thing, cool feature.

Congrats!

Mostly woodworking projects, from decor items up to furniture sets :) What's difficult about it is the size and bulk of items.

Yay to globalization, boo to shipping costs haha

Yes I've noticed he has several classes too, it's nice that he'll carve out that time to teach others.

Education and dessert seem like things that should always go hand in hand :)

I love that you mentioned that, I've always enjoyed handcrafting things outside of my 9-5 and people's desire to exchange goods for crypto is growing rapidly. 20%+ of students now hold crypto and are transacting with it! Good luck with your brainstorming, I know it'll pay off! :)

Haven't delved too deeply into this project but if there was ever a need for disruption, it's this. Definitely going to take some time to look at their platform.

Stumbled across Amaury Gichon's instagram one day, because watching people create works of art out of food is so satisfying...

Addicted.

Love the diversity in this space :) Do you have your own shop? Are you accepting crypto or have people inquired about purchasing your pastries with crypto?

Well as long as you don't feel hopeless! This ecosystem is about more than just investment, if prices are low, there's an opportunity for *believers*, not investors, to join with lower barriers. Trust the technology.

Yep, I've been on Brave for months now, converted all my devices over. It's great that they gave free BAT to try, I ended up purchasing some on top to give to my fav sites. I'm excited to see what happens now that they've updated to support chrome extensions.

True! I just feel like we don't have both yet. Medium is great but I'd love the option to compensate in micropayments when I use the service as opposed to the typical monthly subscription we're so accustomed to.

I love Medium, but I hate that I simply open a link and it still counts as 1/3 reads for the month. I refuse to sign up only because I want a micropayment option for stories I actually like where the creator gets the payment.

Decentralize please, and not Telegram's Telegraph.

Absolutely, agricultural practices are having a huge affect on our climate and it's quickly becoming an unsustainable industry. Leave agriculture to true farmers and remove factory farming while engineering meat safely.

At least it will have a lot less hormones.

Agreed, aren't we here to leave Twitter behind?

Curious to see how the community feels about the #bitcoinetf. We posted this on our Google+, let us know your thoughts! (here or there)

Can some #crypto/#blockchain adoption be bad?

Ya, I can't say I'd miss the manager of the manager of the manager who suggests process changes while being completely disconnected from the fundamental, ground level execution of day to day business.

Those fiduciary obligations though.

haha! The ever-present blockchain particle background.

She's a good one.

Truth. Not only are cryptos a way to regain our sovereignty, but the entire concept of blockchain techn/crypto enable us to take the power back. Want my info to sell? Pay me for it. Want to engage with my content? Pay a fraction of a penny directly to me! Later greedy middlemen.

Thank you :D

Kind of want to keep our new @peepethapp banner as the default sea turtle. It's such a majestic photo and @vbuterin kept his sooooooo...

We're so excited to keep exploring this platform, what a refreshing change! :D
