My definition here is something that has reached global scale.The only things so far seem to target digital assets (cryptocurrency, music, movies, art etc.)I think the primary issue always tends to be two fold:
- Decentralized network applications (e.g. bittorrent) tend to be started against an established oligopoly or monopoly and then face the wrath of the establishment eventually
- Massive scaling issues without the inclusion of some centralizationA perfect example of my second point is git. Git is the perfect example of a decentralized Merkel Tree based network solution. It grew and grew, but only really took off when the likes of Github gained a footing, using a centralized mechanism for discovery and sharing.I feel that all decentralized applications will end up facing the same challenges. But the internet is huge, and DApps have grown substantially.I am hoping to hear if there are any other massive or massive-potential decentralized apps out there?
