Ethereum Q&A: Private Chains Misunderstand the Fundamental Value of Blockchains Video

Keywords/phrases: Private chains fundamentally misunderstand the value of open, decentralised, permissionless, borderless blockchains. It is akin to the horse buggy manufactures adapting automobiles by replacing the internal combustion engine with a horse. "But we really like the fundamental technology behind Automobile. Pneumatic tires will fundamentally transform the future of transportation." If you choose to do a private chain, you are re-introducing counter-party risk and removing the fundamental security mechanism of consensus, which brings back a lot of the old problems. The existing banking system is fundamentally constrained by two things: very large institutions with the inertia of centuries of tradition, and the guilded cage of regulations which have kept small competitors out and not allowed them to do what Bitcoin does. It will be difficult for them to reconcile their future with this new disruptive technology.

About the Site 🌐

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced 🤔

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍

Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.

About YouTube 📺

YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟

Content and Users 🎵

Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.

While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.

Monetization and Impact 🤑

YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.

As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
