Topic: How likely do people think Pillar could become the new Google. (Read 937 times)

Well I bought 1btc worth as a punt on this guy making the future and I believe in decentralisation so I guess we will see. I will forget about the tokens and see what happens in the coming years. I really don't see any evidence of this being in anyway a scam. The guy seems on this goal for years I think he just saw this a way to fund his vision.


I recommend anyone interested in how decentralisation will more than likely change the world in the coming decades to watch this from David I came across on youtube, interesting stuff.

Its really indeed strong and knowing Google its really big and powerful and theres no point on making comparisons between pillar and saying that could become the new Google? Seriously it wont stand a chance. Competing with google is just like that you are punching on a Steel wall trying to break it on your bare hands which we can say its really impossible.

Simple as this,

Initial distribution is key to ensuring it is not a high probability insider scam.

60 hr ICO is too short to ensure wide distribution it is therefore probably setting itself up for an insider market manipulation/collusion scam.
What's wrong they don't want more development funding? seems strange.

I don't care to look at the proposed concept/tech if it is being geared up towards pushing a scam

I avoid projects with deliberately poor initial distribution.

My point is clear

Second point, why not get others opinions that you want to hear and value before you invested? I mean surely that is the critical time.

I mean also you opinion seems already formed and quite positively so.

Why wait to bring it up until after the ico is done.

If you consider these poor arguments then sure start to dismantle them.

To me it is a high probability market making insider scam and you are trying to drum up some fomo before it's released.

The concept and tech is 2ndary to me. I don't wish to be part of self serving manipulated enrichment schemes regardless of what those running them can actually do.

Go with fairly and widely distributed projects that have proven long term developments in crypto that have devs that are working through their road maps at a solid rate.

Don't matter if you release the  next possible big thing if you deliberately gear it to be too weighted as a self enrichment scheme by unfair means and insider collusion and manipulation then it deserves to be cloned and crushed and released more fairly.

These are not empty arguments and these are probably the most important parts of the crypto puzzle that need solving aside from decentralised exchanges. We need trustless provable fair means to distribute. POW was far better but development funding was the big issue there. ICO's especially these last for 2 seconds ones are a disgrace.

The problem with capable devs is that they are capable of great scams too. 

Let me just "Pillar" that really quick. Nope, it's terrible as a verb.

I am not a technical researcher in the searching area, as a search engine user, I think the Google is very strong and useful, other new search engine may not have much chance to beat the Google in my opinion. 

can't be a closed system if it transfers data and risky having all your personal info in one place.

as for becoming the new Google, I hope not, Google is hardly decentralized.

You mean David Siegel. The guy first recognised as the first website developer EVER. Organiser of a organisation 20/30 to decentralise our life, a writer of a book called PULL that makes clear the future he sees for the internet. That couldn't get funding for his ideas because well who would fund open source project that didn't profit anyone? Yeah sounds like a right profit hungry scammer. Nice research idiot.


So he has been planning his ICO scam since 2010.....genius.

Op, so this guy from that video(I don't know what video, the one you mentioned above) is a genius, lets assume that. So why can't this genius invest his spare time, his week-ends, his money, get together people that can help the project, build it and AFTER that sells the product, how about a real deal, how it was meant to be when crypto currencies started - fair and decentralized.

ICO means scammy distribution. How much money do they want to raise from this ICO? Are they serious about their intentions if they don't invest (they have no people around that can invest in such a GENIUS idea, REPLACING GOOGLE, multi-billion giant company) and they start a fucking ICO! Raise 25 millions and great ICO, great money, project done, lets build another, now pumping and advertising with the money from the previous ICO!

How original, I think this shit will be with us forever.

Sorry but your arguments are just empty opinions. And no I don't think Google is just search..You're missing the point that the system proposed is 100 times more easy, secure, and elegant a solution to the problems of internet usage and management of our personal information online and across multiple devices and services we use.

Are you telling me no one would be interested in one login and putting you personal information into a dashboard and NEVER HAVING TO DO IT AGAIN FORVER!!!!!!! Whatever service you use online?


It's actually your assumptions that are far fetched, not mine.

Your point isn't relevant. No one needs to KNOW about crypto to use this kind of software platform. No one also needs to know it's better, people gravitate toward the most user friendly way to manage their information. You are basically betting that people will never give up 30 logins, lack of personal date privacy, risk of hacking, and the joy of complex multitasking lol for simplicity of user experience?

Because it's a commercial business,their products happen to be so good,people don't really mind if it's centralized.

I feel sorry for you if you think google is just a search-engine.You are the one that needs to read more.

Speaking of ICO's and other Altcoins on the forum,they're way far from future cryptos.If it isn't for money,I don't know what else they're claiming to be.

For me there is a chance that Pillar could become the new google but it happening, like others said, is very unlikely, unless all people, using cryptocurrency or not, will realize that pillar is better than google. Out of the billions and trillions of people out there, only a percent or two knows and use cryptocurrency so I won't say that it could become a new google for sure because those few are the only ones who know now that pillar exists.

A lot of morons on this forum who don't really read and search anything.

The idea that you life would be made easier and more secure and no need for multiple log ins to sites cause they could all be used on one landing plane seems actually very likely the future. Why would you choose centralized, fragmented separate app log ins if it's all safe and secure in one place? Seems a no brainier for the future IMO. If these guys don't do it someone else probably will.


And no it's not another fucking search engine. It completely disrupts the Internet and search not by competing with it but by being a far better and safer way to use the Internet and would completely undermines using a separate centralized search.


Does anyone fucking read on this forum?


Does anyone actually believe decentralisation and blockchain are actually the future or are you all trying to make money on things you know are fucking worthless?


Let me paint a picture. Imagine opening your phone or computer, going through some level,of security, fingerprint, password whatever. Then you are on a secure closed operating system that is decentralised. You could have icon for banks, crypto, emails anything but you wouldn't have to log in cause they would already be secure on your operating system. And add the fact your info is all there so can be used safely to serve your information needs. Want to book a holiday, no multiple apps just say where you want to go and the system can use all your info from banking to weather in that area to your schedule to link and sort the whole thing out. Personally I would start using that today if it was available.

THIS IS THE FUCKING FUTURE YOU NOOBS. YOU'RE THE IDIOTS THAT SAID THAT STEAM TRAINS WOULD SUFFOCATE US. ZERO CRITICAL THINKING.

My only question is if Pillar will be the ones to pull,of this vision or not.

Unlikely, highly unlikely! Read the posts below and you will be enlightened.

Pillar going against Google the giant? I don't know what you are thinking but to tell you, pillar is like a chicken inside a cage with a cobra. Good luck with your chicken, anyway. You have 1 in a billion chances.

There are many other big search engines are failed against google and google has put many years of hard work to bring it to this level. You think that this new coin or site can over take or at least compete with google? Since now people are crazy about cryptocurrency investments so all these people want to use this market condition and make money for them easily. I will not invest in this coin.

I laughed.
Are you really that stupid ? A crappy ICO vs the team of smartest humans on this planet ? I'd be glad if their ICO markets itself outside of bitcointalk.
Fun Fact : No ICO based crypto will ever impact anything which has valuable uses in real life.All those decentralized organizations,finance blockchain crap are never going to be used anywhere expect for pumpand dump in exchanges.

Honestly I plan to long term hold. I absolutely know its a long shot but after watching the youtube of the guy behind it who has written famous books on the internet I just thought maybe this guys vision is where the internet and blockchain is going and maybe just maybe they might pull it off.

I hate all this oh its an Icon so its shit, come on think a bit deeper, have a real opinion based on the actual development and vision. All this your a troll, its FUD, its an ICO scam is just fucking boring and is 95% of posts on this forum. Actually look at the vision and then comment on my question for fucks sake, give a fucking adult argument.


The key point is he is betting on the disruption of the blockchain to make a secure landing platform for the internet that blocks out security problems, decentralises your info in one place and destroys the monopoly of Google etc to own your info. As crypto people we should at least applaud that concept? I also think he is right, have a million log ins and separate apps to go into is stupid and a system that combines it all under a safe umbrella probably is the future imo. If these guys achieve it??? No idea but wanted others qualified opinions.  That was my question.


See how this works. The OP asks a question or area of discussion and others answer and give actual points and reasons why they agree disagree or don't know or care. This ICO are scams, this is bullshit with no actual point or argument  comments etc are a CANCER on this forum.

Looks like dirt

60hr ico ??

Same as all the other shit narrow distributed crap on here.  Just waiting to make their own markets through manipulation and collusion.

Will be dumped them pumped then dumped then on to the next dreams and talk white paper

Why not ask this question on the main board before deciding to invest??? I mean surely you want peoples opinion on it before you burn your money away. Not so they can commiserate with you after you are parted from your btc.

No point sneaking into these 5 second icos then come hear asking if it will be the next google and think we dont see this thread for what it is right?

You dont want an opinion you want to start priming suckers to buy this crap for more than you bought it for.

Same as all the other scam projects try to keep the distribution narrow then start coming to the main board to spam and fomo this shit.

Sure if they manage to build some fomo before dumping this project then those FEW that went in with this may pass it on to other suckers before its left for dead.

These insta icos (this is not the worst one) are the biggest scams here.

Should have made it a 60 second ICO easier to manipulate and scam.

When I see anyone come straight after the ico ended saying hey how about this ico scam that just finished ..what about I start some fomo up I know its a project that needs to be hounded off this board.

You have received good feedback it looks like a typical ico scam and yet you now have already decided it is supercomputer compared to googles typewriter. Seems you have no need of feedback just make another thread. I want to build some fomo for the insta ico scam i hopefully just got in on in time to sell to  suckers for a profit.

A computer to beat a typewriter? Good luck with that. (Circa 1978)

An ICO to Beat Google? Good luck with that.
