So basically you think dapps are a meme and decentralization and trustlessness is only useful in currencies? If that's the case nobody will convince you otherwise and you should be holding only pure currency coins.

If you think trustlessness and decentralization is useful for a shitload of other things, then whatever project you're invested in (that is not a currency), a holochain based dapp can do it better.

You get the point.
After the ICO people were memeing how Holo will BTFO 99% of the shitcoins. That meme was actually started by people that researched the shit out of this project and bought at ICO. They knew what they got into and what a juggernaut this project is.
That's all there is to it. Holochain is tech that is 2 generations ahead of blockchain. It's basically Hashgraph on steroids. That's why people are losing their shit over it.

Probably gonna repost this when the mongrels wake up cause the board seems dead right now, but here we go.

Here's my concern with Holo (notice I said Holo, not Holochain). Say I'm a developer with a great idea. What incentive do I have to build this on Holochain and Host it on Holo instead of going for a centralized solution?

It can't be censorship resistance/illegal shit because Holo requires KYC for developers. It's not like I can build the next Silkroad on it. Well, technically I can, but I'll just paint a target on my back and once I'm busted I won't be able to pay for hosting anyway. I can build the next Silkroad on Holochain and decide not to host it on Holo, but that doesn't concern me cause I'm actually interested in how to make money from HOT and don't care about people's garage projects that don't require hosting on Holo.

My question is more about legit devs that must choose between Holo and other centralized solutions. What's the incentive?

I can see one incentive in the following scenario. I build a 4chan clone on Holochain and host in on Holo. I monetize this with ads or some shit. A percentage of my users will prefer to use the P2P (pure holochain version) of the app so they don't incur a hosting cost to me. Other users will access it through a browser and I'll have to pay for hosting to serve them. Financially that's a good deal cause I monetize 100% of my user base but I only pay for hosting for half of them. That's cool but I'm not sure it's enough to compete with AWS.

So what am I missing, /biz/? What other incentives are to building on Holochain and hosting on Holo?

>inb4 this is just a speculative market and the price doesn't reflect the fundamentals
Yeah, I know, but I'm still interested to know if the shitcoin I bought actually has fundamentals or not. It's easier to sell it to other people in the future.

I've warned people from the beginning that there will be a Holo shakeout. Now I'm starting to think this is the shakeout. It's not a dump, but a pump so that /biz/ neets sell their bags to whales.
I think you might have fucked up, OP. We'll wait and see.

What did they mean by this?
