Why Data-as-Value is Crisis Proof

In the wake of Covid-19, it has become more than self-evident that securing your financial future is something no crypt or the mainstream economy can (could or will ever be able to) deliver on. Ensuring the Future isn’t a Rinse-and-Repeat of the Past Governments and big business will not step…

Blockchain: Answering a Charge of “Crappy Technology”

An interesting article on Medium denounced blockchain for its current flaws, not least of all its claims to trustlessness, summarily dismissing the technology as “crappy technology (and) a bad vision for the future” (in the article title no less). How useful this wholesale dismissal of a potentially transformative, foundational technology…

Why a “True” Data Economy Needs a “Causal” Internet

In response to various questions on our Telegram, this article digs a little deeper into the nature of the “causality” that is fundamental to our radically-new, decentralised Web 3.0/4.0 solution. As discussed in our Telegram, a lot of the features and functions of our platform and web browser, called Decentr…

How our Digital Currency can Prevent a “Weaponised” Web

A key early supporter of ours, and all round great human being, drew our attention to a Netflix documentary, called “The Great Hack” — it is as chilling as it is compelling to watch. The documentary details the way social media exploits our data to prop up their questionable business…

Big Data Plus Crypto: the “New Oil”?

We think it is — at least it has the potential to be. This “formula” emerged from the closed testing of the backend tech for our new decentralised web browser + platform, called Decentr, that functions as a publically accessible “user layer” for blockchain/DLT. This “user layer” is designed to…

Akiko Ogawa: Picture-Perfect Holonaut and Conceptual Thinker

We are fortunate enough to be in touch with Akiko Ogawa, “visionary artist, environmentalist, bootstrapping Hypergroove”, who initially very much impressed us as regards the depth of her insight into our work (of which more below).

“Deconomics”: Extracting Economic Value from User Data

This post forms a continuation of a series of posts outlining the bare bones underpinnings — the basic philosophical stance — that characterises the various facets of our project; in particular our game-changing economic model we call “deconomics” (decentralised economics). In this post, we aim to describe in more detail…

Clarifying Decentr’s Philosophical Synergy with Holochain

Describing our tech/concept is all well and good but clarifying and contextualising the philosophy that underpins it is, we feel, a better way to help people “get” where we’re coming from with our platform/“deconomics”. We understand that what we’re proposing in terms of our tech/deconomics (“Decentr/decentralised economics”) is so radically-new…
