Northeast Asian messenger apps doing blockchain business

[TheCoinGrabber]

Isn't Kakao basically making its own blockchain that would also carry various apps like a videosharing platform? I don't know how they'll integrate it into their existing messenger app but I'm really liking the idea of a blockhain Youtube. I wonder if content would be less likely to get removed that way.

You'll need a lot of money just to store it then. If that's what you want to achieve then you should use something like IPFS or Torrent instead of blockchain, that should give better speed while not compromising security that much.

That should be able to somehow fix the censorship problem too.

Seriously, there is nothing wrong in integrating blockchain as a technology into operations because its like an upgrade of software that would make process faster and be reliable in terms of data integrity. And I am equally happy because it shows that businesses are beginning to trust the technology but that should not be interpreted as an adoption of bitcoin or any currency that runs on the on the blockchain.

oh its really .It's great to see that the blockchain business gradually starting in this area .Those area are strong area of the Asia if crypto can spread here with legality it will boom and crypto will have a great new platform as well.

Those areas has actually been the most friendly zone to cryptocurrency right from the beginning especially Japan, the way japan has given so much support to the blockchain technology, you could think that Satoshi Nakamoto is a Japanese, the only strong Asian country that is still so tough about cryptocurrency is china, and probably their dragon God has not approved the cryptocurrency system for them.

I learnt that is where they carried all their produce they send worldwide to dedicate first which is why their economy has been booming, and they would not want to get involved in a system that is probably not have gotten approval and could bring their own system down, which is why they will guide alipay and wechat pay jealously before bitcoin takes their position.

Yes a torrent is ideal for distributing the files but it's not the same as having the video playing right out in the open with the viewers posting comments and maybe even participating with the content creator if it was something like Youtube's "Premiere" feature.

I don't think we can ever have a truly decentralized Youtube clone that can be ran on only mobile phone sadly.
