As nowadays every other company building their system with Blockchain or Ethereum technology, can we consider, the blockchain is future of coding language ? Considering the biggest benefit of decentralization network and all others pros of it.

Programming languages are separate from the platforms they run on and vice versa.

Virtual machines running on blockchains are basically simple, decentralized operating systems. Think Windows, Linux or macOS, just way more minimalistic. These virtual machines are not the programming language. They interpret the programming language.

So will we see smart contract platforms supersede traditional, centralized solutions? I doubt it, as there are only limited use cases where the decentralization aspect of blockchains really comes to fruition. Which use cases these are, we are about to find out in the upcoming years.

How will this influence future programming languages? I guess very little, as in general high level programming languages should care very little about the underlying architecture. After all they are a means to abstract these details away. We probably will see more blockchain specific programming languages over the next few years, but they will likely stay in the niche that is the crypto ecosystem. Whether it will bring new concepts to other programming languages that don't work with blockchain smart contracts is a different question, but I expect smart contract programming languages to learn more from already existing languages than the other way round.


Not sure regarding the implications of blockchain on coding languages, but I think smart contracts are really the niche where statically typed pure functional languages could shine. I'm talking about the languages  mainly from ML family: Haskell, OCaml, F#, Elm, PureScript.

Just imagine, your smart contract can be treated just as a pure function which takes some input and gives some output, no side effects, no typos, etc. Imho, this is the direction where languages smart contracts should lead to.

I very much hope so as well. What we currently have is in my opinion rather inadequate for immutable, permissionless transactions.
Thank you for sharing such knowledge views, surely it will help to understand the basics in it.

I believe blockchain is a progressive and necessary technology in today's society. Companies, schools, hospitals ... should use blockchain software to facilitate the information management of the agency. The blockchain hierarchy is gaining in popularity and use.
I strongly feel it, but still to continue with Blockchain technology governing authorities must need to inteven in it. Because most of the public sector maintain that security not as compared to blockchain but still they maintain some level and we all know how secure public sectors are!! most of the frauds and data breach made up in public sectors, isn't it ?

There is no doubt, that a decentralized network like blockchain is going to revamp the world, mostly the public sectors where transparency and authenticity is must needed. Moreover there are lot of companies working on same tech, to specially mention here there are few countries too who are trying to blend their current public sector platforms with decentralised network.
Also as Frank1 mentioned the list, those are just few startup sectors the list will go increases with time.

Isn't it good time to rethink on our decisions? In Dec17 BTC was all time high and its just few months back, now the current price is around $7k. Lets just suppose how far it will going to fall may be more 1-2k not more than that. I am new in this forum, but still I used to saw bitcoin rise since last winter.
What i think is, its the best time to invest coz every day there is some new news related  to crypto world. Every now and then there are some positive news from some well known and high ranking people. This i think is sufficient enough to prove in nearby future BTC price is going to rise once again.

A good rule to follow is never to invest more than what you would be willing to lose.
Its not only good, its the golden rule for any investment. Without being greedy always ask this question to yourself, how much we can afford of losing!!!
I used to trade in forex and Bitcoin is not exceptional of it. When we think the price is at lowest, now is the best time to buy it may show a sudden drop. Recently Mark Carney, Bank of England governor and head of the Financial Stability Board told to G20 members that crypto assets “do not pose risks” to the world’s economy. I cant believe how there is sudden rise in BTC price.

Hi,

let's discuss which Marketing techniques are the best for crypto projects.
By banning crypto ads by google so I think crypto marketing can be done in this forum or other crypto forums, maybe instagram will also be a good marketing tool.

Instagram is owned by Facebook, and FB was the first platform, announcing they are not going to entertain ICO or crypto related ads.

Buddy start digging up as much as you can. Rather than concentrating when to buy and where to buy, you first need to understand the basics; why the price changes, why from around $20000 benchmark in Dec 2017 it came down to $8000.
Just consider Bitcoin as any normal fiat currency, but the anomaly is you can understand the logic behind currency rate change, international trade fair changes, market deviation, natural calamities, govt rules etc are few factors which affect fiat currency. But as Bitcoin is not yet governed by any gov. authorities.
Study all this things first, yet if you want to go ahead here I'm attaching the link by which you can easily move forward with a two step verification process.

This is something that I came across: https://blogs.thebitfort.com/bitcoin-and-legality-here-is-indias-stance-e7b46b1db861
India is all-in for blockchain technology, but the stance on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is somewhat equivocal.
