NFTs Beyond Maximalism (Part 1)

NFTs Beyond Maximalism focuses on cross-chain communities.

The initial inspiration comes from a working theory of Community Entanglement. Discussions occurring on distributed technologies tend to share similarities. NFTs boost engagement:

Internet alleviates starved expression. NFTs empower the result.

PART 1: Exploring Community Entanglement Theory for Blockchain-Based Social Applications

Understanding Entanglement Applied to Crypto Maximalism

Science Daily describes quantum entanglement as:

“... a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the quantum states of two or more objects have to be described with reference to each other, even thought he individual objects may be spatially separated.”

The reference goes on to say:

“This leads to correlations between observable physical properties of the systems.”

Maximalism, that is, efforts to solve all problems on a single blockchain, tends to flow out of ‘tight’ communities.It’s this flaw that’s sought better understood through application of what’s uniquely termed here Community Entanglement Theory.

Defining Community Entanglement Theory (CET):

Substituting ‘community’ for ‘quantum’ (and the like)in the above reference:

... phenomenon in which have to be described with reference to each other, even though the individual may be separate.

This leads to correlations between observable interactions across platforms.

No reference of‘Community Entanglement Theory’ was found during conventional iInternet searches or within the following networks of databases:

• www.ebsco.com/
• www.sciencedirect.com/
• scholar.google.com/

The absence of CET reference is not surprising given that both blockchain and quantum computing are at the forefront of innovation. Also note that CET likely exhibits philosophical parallels with behavioral psychology concepts that may be alternatively presented.

* No effort was made to access databases that place restrictions upon who may search as this is anon-funded and mere test-of-interest project.

Protecting Intellectual Property: IPFS Advantages and Limitations

  All three articles (and NFT image intensities) are saved on the distributed web (IPFS). There the files remain for all time.Robust community engagement dictates that an author not merely publish to a single site. Crypto-communities harbor strong feelings often independent in nature.Authors whose content engages readers across blockchain philosophies are highly valued. Achieving such a state of relatable valuation requires going beyond IPFS.  

PRACTICAL APPLICATION ACROSS BLOCKCHAIN-BASED SOCIAL PLATFORMS

  Social platforms exhibit unique power and character. Dedicated communities persist on each. Real people survive and profit, in whole or in part, from the time they commit.  

Crypowriter and Finney

A group of writers who report, advance, and intertwine content across blockchains and applications.Simple in structure, yet powerfully effective for both writers and readers.CryptoFinney is the artistic/NFT arm of Cryptowriter.It’s already successful as a multi-blockchain (WAX and EOS) venture. There’s ongoing development on Uplift.Membership and BTCminer drops make Finney something really special. This becomes more apparent when considering how drops connect artists with a large, vibrant community.  

Project Hope and Pub0x

A much needed network that grew out of the Steemit community, Project Hope provides real solutions for real people. Since content I publish for PH also resides on sister chains like Hive and LEOFinance, I thought it prudent to consider PUBLISH0X for further diversity.  

Voice, EOS and EdenOS

From an engaged Genesis community to a dedicated NFT platform,Voice expects to revolutionize social content. Creators, artists, and delivering valuable, short-form content are the focus. Voice is considered a much needed solution for creative individuals operating within a global online environment in constant cultural flux.   EOS is ready to take full advantage of NFTs following the adoption of a new resource model. More than this, EdenOS’ transformative governance model has minted NFT memberships. Auctioning off these NFTs will help fund the ecosystem.  

OTHER FACTORS TO CONSIDER

  Keep in mind that the blockchain-based social platforms listed above are merely part of a test. The influence of entangled communities guided by similar interests is far greater than what’s presented here. With that in mind,consider the underlying technology and philosophy that shape these platforms.    

DPoS

Steemit’s Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) was really the first non-technical, practical use case of blockchain technology. Dan Larimer and other DPoS developers prove time and again to innovate blockchain tech in functional ways. Bitshares, Steemit, and EOS all hit the ground running. DPoS remains unmatched in its capacity for dynamic transactions. It’s a refreshing approach compared to that of other blockchains where development is limited by resource allocation.

Functional Decentralized Applications (Dapps)

Where Bitcoin secures digital ledgers, DPoS almost instantly takes blockchain applications to the next level. Ethereum can be said to do this, but its impractical fee structure and desire to overtake Bitcoin limits its capacity. EOS developers are capable of scaling Bitcoin in very practical and powerful ways. This puts the whole world within reach.

The Dapps of the future will not be confined to a single blockchain; and certainly not as NFTs go mainstream.

The Power of NFTs Revealed

Are you aware that creators can set the ‘market fee’ on Atomic Hub? That’s the royalty rate for EACH time an asset is sold. Sure pays to be a creator, doesn’t it. And to think, the only advantage of leaving a thoughtful comment on a Beyond Maximalism article is to receive a BRONZEalphaNFT that may yield additional, future NFT drops related to this project. Maybe NFTs are worthy of all the hype after all.

A VOICE AND VISION OF HOPE

I wish to express my gratitude for the creative and enthusiastic minds entangled amidst this effort.My hope is not merely to foster engagement and reward brain power and heart-time expended, but also that I’ve illuminated a bit of wisdom that sparks empowered innovation.
