  • To help build true digital cash to fuel a decentralized economy
What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? Distributed networks have a main server(-s) and it is their weak point. In decentralized networks are all participants are equal. I really like blockchain and cryptocurrencies, the very idea of the community

Speed (it faster all blockchains I know), security (quantum secure), privacy (mixer) and metadata shredding technology. And PoW or PoS no algorithm used here. This is a huge advantage!
Privacy by Default is a goal of the xx network Platform. In your opinion, why is Privacy by Default critical for the future of the internet? Because this is the only way to be a free person in the 21st century online.
In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? There is no danger in the next 5-7 years.
