Technological singularity
When one is interested in technology and its evolution, one often has in mind this notion of technological singularity put forward by the visionaries. We can reflect on this evolution, and I think it is useful to do so. Question yourself and question it!
Do not let us just accept change that would be harmful to us, I suggest we turn it to our advantage. The learning curve is accelerating, the changes are creeping into our lives without us really realizing it. It is not a question of deciding whether the situation is good or bad, the situation is what it is!
Morality and Blockchain?
Our jobs are being modified through applications, our relationship with others is changing through social networks, and our way of learning and sharing information is evolving. But the reality is that everything is not going to be accepted, and be acceptable, to us. I am confident that we can marry our beliefs with technological advance. We can decide to be active instead of remaining passive, and to take advantage of the situation. While this requires effort, analysis and certainly questioning, on our part, it is an opportunity for us. Often, we neglect the moral side of Blockchains.
The recent success of crypto currencies does not really help in keeping this notion of morality in mind. The fact that Blockchains are based on a decentralized model is not the problem. The aim of Blockchains is really to break away from the model of centralized computing that collects, exploits and resells your data often, without asking your permission or opinion. This model also creates data concentrations, becoming an ideal point of attack for malicious individuals. Blockchains, under open-source technologies, provide us with an alternative, with cryptography as a security pledge, and we can see more clearly the philosophy behind Blockchains. By continuing the exercise, we can see a kind of technological rebellion, an alternative to the system that is imposed on us.
Truth and Exchange
Unfortunately, I am afraid that this notion is lost a little in many of the projects that have emerged in recent times. Where is the will to change things? Where are the beliefs, and what moral basis do you want to give to your projects? As I explained above, we have the opportunity not to remain passive. Dissatisfied with the situation, we decided to create our own Blockchain. We have used technology, but also maintained our beliefs. Convinced that we can bring something new, we wanted to create a Blockchain, that is ethical and moral. We have arrived at a balanced model that is based on truth and the notion of exchange.
Certainly, we have a little bit of the alchemist in us, wanting to transform technology into something with moral value, but we are convinced we are on the right track. We are not going to keep this for ourselves, the idea is to share all this.
On the road to the ICO
Being impregnated by the Blockchain aura, we decided to do ICO to rise community and money, keeping the distributed characteristic of the technology to develop the NeuroChain ecosystem.
