The explanation Mr. Brooks gave here was something I hadn't heard before, and I'm not sure if I understood his words correctly (I understood blockchain tech is the evolution of the internet itself, i.e. all the internet content, its interactions, and services will be provided through blockchain tech in the future, and you can own a part of that by buying cryptocurrencies).

@@user-ul3ki4to4l I don’t believe you are incorrect and you are justified in being very skeptical of Mr. Brooks’ explanation. I strongly suspect he’s an industry insider who Is advocating for his business with this made-up analogy of “three internet tiers.” He says that the second tier is owned by companies like Facebook and Amazon (as if nobody can operator their own server anymore). The third tier is where blockchain acts as a platform for developing apps like one would on a smartphone platform. “People” would own this platform by investing in something like Ethereum. This is silly in my opinion. While Ethereum smart contracts do allow “developers” to create simple apps which can use Ether to run, there is little evidence these could even begin to rival the scale of existing internet apps and services. Furthermore, there’s no evidence that blockchain technologies result in this imaginary equitability he suggests. In fact the reality is that crypto just accelerates inequality of ownership.
