To clarify:
@Urbit is a better solution for identity than Bitcoin, even though Bitcoin is a decentralized network of identity points that are securely transferred. They have different uses.
It is better than Ethereum for decentralized computing because it was built for it.https://twitter.com/davealevine/status/1129433232762650629 …

The intent of Bitcoin is different than
@Urbit obviously and they can obviously be compatible and co-exist in a complimentary fashion. The point of my admittedly “trollish” tweet before was that ultimately Bitcoin and Satoshis are a digital identifier in a network.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -
Obviously Bitcoin accomplishes more than a simple database of identity (the decentralized secure transfer of identifiers within the Bitcoin network is the breakthrough that gives it “value” cc
@starkness) so that’s an oversimplification.@urbit is awesome because it does more.1 reply 1 retweet 1 likeShow this thread -
Meaning: the combination of a new form of identity AND a purpose built decentralized compute stack that can connects with that identity network is what makes
@Urbit so great. Probably not fair to compare to Bitcoin because it is so different. BUT it accomplishes a lot.1 reply 1 retweet 3 likesShow this thread -
Because
@Urbit offers a promise of a digital future where identity can be personal and a key to a new modality of computing that is purpose built for decentralization in a way proof of stake and work blockchains aren’t really.2 replies 1 retweet 2 likesShow this thread -
So... Yes I was “trolling” a bit before to make a point that
@Urbit does a lot and oversimplifying what Bitcoin is about in the process. That said,@urbit is groundbreaking in what it already represents for and will accomplish in time. It is the promise of a 100 year computer.2 replies 1 retweet 1 likeShow this thread -
