In decentralization, we trust, and in our community, we believe! This interview is part of the ! For those who are reading about it for the first time, HackerNoon has built a partnership with Everscale (Formely Free Ton) - a decentralized, community-powered blockchain movement for free internet! This is the last month to participate in the contest. You can see all here. #Decentralized-Internet writing contest #Decentralized-Internet stories So without further ado, let’s start the interview. Thank you for joining us! Please tell us about yourself. Hi, I’m . I write SEO-driven blog content to bring my clients millions of views and get them to the #1 spot in Google rankings. Valerias Bangert like this one Let's discuss centralized internet first. What is your opinion on the centralized internet? What are its pros/cons? There are a number of pros and cons of centralized internet. Some pros include that it is often faster and more reliable than decentralized options. Additionally, it is typically easier to use, as users do not need to install or configure anything. Centralized systems also often have more features and are more user-friendly. However, centralized systems also have a number of drawbacks. One of the biggest is that they are often more vulnerable to attacks, as they are a single point of failure. Additionally, centralized systems can be more expensive to use, as users must pay for access. They can also be more restrictive, as the providers can decide what content is or is not available. What does decentralization mean to you? In the context of blockchain technology, decentralization means that the network is not controlled by any one person or entity. Rather, it is maintained by a distributed network of participants. This allows for a more democratic and secure system, as there is no central point of failure. How does decentralization change the internet? Decentralization changes the internet by making it more democratic and secure. With decentralization, anyone can participate in the internet, and there is no need for a central authority to control it. This makes the internet more democratic, as a few large companies or governments no longer control it. It also makes it more secure, as no central point of attack can be exploited. What is the best thing about decentralized internet? Decentralized internet gives users more control over their data and how it is used. It could also help to promote more freedom and privacy online. Are you currently directly or indirectly working on the decentralized internet use case? We would love to know more about it. Yes. I am currently working on a decentralized web project to store data. What are the biggest challenges in the way of the decentralized web? There are a few challenges facing the decentralized web. One is that there is a lack of standardization, so it can be difficult for developers to build products that work across different platforms. Another challenge is that the decentralized web is still in its early stages, so there is not a lot of user-friendly software available yet. Additionally, security concerns need to be addressed before the decentralized web can be widely adopted. Do you have any apprehension or fear related to the decentralization of the internet? Yes. That's because, at this point, there is no one clear authority or governing body for the internet. So, without a central authority, it's likely that different parts of the internet would function in different ways, which could lead to a lot of confusion and conflict. To give an example, imagine if different parts of the internet had different rules about what could and couldn't be shared online. It would be a mess! How do you see the future of the decentralized internet? I see the decentralized internet has a very bright future. There are a number of reasons for this. First, the decentralized internet is more secure and censorship-resistant than the current internet. This is because it is based on a distributed network of nodes rather than a centralized network. Second, the decentralized internet is more efficient and environment-friendly than the current one. This is because it does not require the use of large data centers. Third, the decentralized internet is more democratic than the current internet. This is because it is based on a distributed network of nodes rather than a centralized network. Thank you for your time! Any closing thoughts/advice for the readers? Picture this: The internet is no longer neutral. Large corporations have taken over it, who can now control what we see and what we don't. They have also restricted our access to certain websites and information. This leaves us with a limited view of the world and leaves us vulnerable to their messages and propaganda. Whether you like Trump or not, he is banned from Twitter while the Taliban aren’t. Let that sink in. I think it's important to remember that the decentralized internet is still in its early days, and there are many exciting things yet to come. So don't be discouraged if things don't work perfectly right away – it's all part of the process of building something new and revolutionary. I would also advise readers to stay informed and involved in the decentralized internet community because there is a lot of valuable information and collaboration happening there. And finally, don't be afraid to get involved and contribute – the more people who get involved, the better the decentralized internet will be.
