Topic: Can we officially consider Blockchain the new internet? - page 3. (Read 727 times)
I think they are distinct but life transforming technologies. Internet is a medium which allows bitcoin to work which means bitcoin needs internet
I'd widen the scope: Cryptography is the new internet
...and also the old internet.
But cryptography on regular web pages is hidden away from the cossetted user, you don't want any of that funny sounding stuff, you just want cat videos and memes, right?
Well, I think people are growing up, slowly, but surely. Not least, they're getting tired of the "fun" aspect of internet culture, there's only so much one can take of it without losing enthusiasm. When people realise they can use cryptography to get all the things that politics never delivers, there will be a shift in internet culture.

Blockchain can't be the new internet, bot of them are technologies but are different technologies, to be clear, without bitcoin internet will work fine, but without internet bitcoin will not work, because internet is the medium.
But of course bitcoin is a paradigm change and can be considered as the new money, it can take the place of paypal or visa and that's where things get interesting.

yes , feels more like blockchain is a extension of the internet and makes it possible to send value through, and that is a upgrade not enough to call it internet 2.0 but 1.5
Blockchain technology & decentralised applications have the potential to be key technologies of Web 3.0's semantic web feature, along with features such as artificial intelligence & a 3D cyberworld. The web will exist everywhere & interconnect everything, as it has began to do already. 
I wouldn't go so far to compare it side-by-side to the internet as I haven't seen any useful and practical application for the said tech but it certainly has earned its notoriety for a lot of companies, especially on the financial side of things. Perhaps it would be a way for us to store things in the future, and you can call it as one of the top-notch database systems considering how secure and how easy it is to monitor and manage unlike the databases that we have in the current times. Anyhow, if the tech goes bigger and find itself some useful applications, perhaps we might then call it as Web 2.0.
To be even considered as the new internet we must consider the number of people using it and seeing at the numbers and physical evidence right now we ain't that a lot we are only a small fraction in he population of the Earth . For Blockchain to be considered as the new internet it must at least reach a billion users first whether it maybe from a new system or directly in cryptocurrencies itself the numbers must be relevant to see how important is blockchain tech to our lives.
Yes, I believe it is fair to say at this point that Blockchain IS the new internet. I for one welcome Blockchain as such, it was time for a change.
Blockchain is the new and better version of web WORKING thanks to the internet. Nothing as big as they internet has been created yet.
Don't forget... They are also the next generation of fundraising. STOs and ICOs have also left their mark and are here to stay.
There is no way we can answer this today. We'll have to come back in 20 or 30 years and see whether BTC and blockchain truly left a mark in history. In my opinion, they will.
Blockchain is the third generation of web and bitcoin is the first real way of storing value that humanity has ever seen. For the people by the people.

Impressive article that talks about Bitcoin and Blockchain as being the next generation of money and web. https://cryptotradernews.com/fintech/next-generation-global-economy-and-web-3-0/
Thoughts?
I feel like Bitcoin is definitely the next generation of money but I'm unsure as to whether Blockchain can be considered the new internet. Although there's no Bitcoin without Blockchain... lol help me out here
