2 by skwee357 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I know what is Bitcoin and Ethereum. I even know, more or less, how they work. But I feel like big things are happening in the cryptocurrency and blockchain world, such as Web3.0, and I'm not sure I understand them. Can someone ELI5 what the fuss around cryptocurrency and blockchain? Specifically, I'm looking for answering to the following questions: 1. Is blockchain a revolutionary technology and what's it's real applications (other than cryptocurrency)? 2. Is cryptocurrency the future of money? And why its hated on HN? 3. What the hell is Web3.0 and how its related to the above 2? Thanks!
