| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | Since I am here, I naturally choose decentralized networks.

| As best as you can given currently available information, please describe the value proposition of the xx network platform and how it differs from other current blockchain solutions. | The platform offers quantum resistance, improved cryptocurrency, shredding of metadata for privacy, and anonymity.

| 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? | I only started to think about this issue when I got into blockchain. It's probably hard to even imagine how much information the internet stores about me now; it limits my freedom as an individual. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Cryptography could suffer. Such computers could easily figure out users' private keys using public keys. |
