Dan Larimer Predicts the Future (Creator of BitShares, Steemit, EOS)
Dan Larimer, the visionary creator behind BitShares, Steemit, and EOS is seemingly able to see the future. He balances a knowledge of technology, economics, and human nature to predict failures and design systems that are future-proof. Point #1: Dan found Bitcoin in 2010 as a result of his own search for digital currency solutions Point #2: Dan predicted Bitcoin could not be used (in it's current architecture) for microtransactions, and alludes to Lightning-like (bit bank) solutions to the microtransaction use case. Point #3: Dan predicts the need for a stable currency, and possible issues for pegged currencies like.....Tether. Wow. Point #4: Dan sees the issue with Ethereum scaling, which we saw play out with CryptoKitties, and which Ethereum MUST address with second layer solutions. Dan further took the approach of creating a SPECIFIC use case of a blockchain before creating the GENERALIZED platform. I think this is a better method, because.... how can you know what developers will need or their requirements for scale if you haven't created a DAPP before? Dan created Steemit as a proof of concept to understand the requirements needed for EOS.
