“By criminalizing the Crypto world, cryptocurrencies and blockchain without distinction, you risk throwing the child with dirty water.” Giorgio Scura is one of the souls of Decripto.org, the sheriffs of the web that between debunking and information, according to a happy definition of the Sole24ore, “illuminate the darkness of the cryptocurrency scams”.
Among the things to save there is the Blockchain technology, which now sees the 20 -year milestone on the horizon and which basically was born together with Bitcoin in the now distant 2008, after the crisis of the American sub -prime mortgages, which according to Scura “has a practically infinite series of applications that risk getting lost in the chaos of the scams and the demonization of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment”.
The theme is the “decentralized” finance which has as its strengths “transparency and digital” possession “, the most” disrupting “application as the good ones say – explains the journalist – never before it was possible to attribute a property to digital assets”. Like our photos, our data, which we give to the great majors, which “keep them in intermediary and centralized platforms that keep them for us at their rules”. What if they close access tomorrow or ask for very high payments? “We couldn’t defend ourselves in any way. Here with the blockchain that is the basis of the web3, it can be done, indeed each of us will be able to gain from the use of our images, without sharing the proceeds with those who hold the big data, as already happens in the USA.
Democracy, transparency, meritocracy. The network has become of age, “overcome adolescence has now become great and can do things when they grow up”. In what sense? “The web1 only allowed writing/reading, with web2 there is also the exchange of multimedia files (and social networks are born), with web3 possession of possession (and therefore the sale, purchase, exchange, the loan etc. etc) arrives of digital goods. And here intervenes the blockchain, “which certifies, in an immutable way, anti -corruption, anti -manipulation. And I know it may seem like a paradox – he smiles – given how much it has been used as Buzz Word for exactly opposite purposes ». The blockchain is about to become crucial in the tracing of our assets. «Imagine what it can mean for a country like ours to have the opportunity to certify every pistachio of Bronte, every cl of Sassicaia, every CL of extra virgin olive oil, every craft product, everything” made in Italy “, the most precious brand in the world after the Coca Cola. The blockchain – is the reasoning of the expert – allows to certify digital scarcity, control the origin, the quantities, the qualities in sunlight ».
In the meantime, the network has changed our company, now deeply digitized. «The banks will certainly change, but not only, the newspapers will change, the football teams (and almost all of them are experiencing fans token), music, singers, concerts, art and communities in general. Think only of the Digital Twin – is the analysis of Scura – the digital twins of works of art or luxury pieces, from bags to watches, which accompany the physical object and certify it in a non -corruptible, non -modifiable way, transparencies and decentralized authenticity “. The newspaper has already spoken of the “identity card” on which Giuseppe Miceli and his Observatory Italy anti -money laundering for art is working.
“For example, the works of art will be forever linked to the artists who have produced them, will trace them over the centuries, and automatically correspond to the author a percentage of future sales”. A way to return individual property rights to artists. “And that everyone controls everyone.” With the blockchain you can.
