As I look back on the projects I joined a couple of years ago, I can sort them into 3 categories:

Applications I use daily

• Efficient Web3 wallet. Everybody knows it so I won’t expand on it.
• Coin/XYO. I feel geomining is worth considering, even more so when it is associated with data. They have a sound project. There is clearly a lot of potential here. I use it a lot in my work.
• Brave browser and BAT. The attention economy. Oh, I won’t quit my job with the income I get but it is always nice to get.

I will not deal with other commercial applications, as I am not advertising in this post.

Applications I would like to see in everyday life

      The blockchain is not only about trading, and marketplaces. I would like to see so many more applications that I could use every day. Here are just a couple of examples I wanted to share with you

• Internet of Things. It used to be a big promise; everything would be “object-based”. I even took a course on the IOTA website that I paid $250. But alas, they changed all the system and everything I learned became useless. What a frustration! Where has all the hype gone?
• Insurance on the blockchain. I am always searching for a reliable solution.
• Transparency in governance. In this context, DAOs are so promising.

Promising projects, but …

• It has been two years I have been mining on this app, but the mainnet is still pending. I feel it is soooo long 😊
• Very new project. I cannot say anything on that one as I am still on the waiting list. Seems interesting but… let us wait and see

Abandoned projects, or at least those that seem to be:

• Bitradio: I had written an article here on PublishOx. A couple of months ago, the platform did not work anymore. It seemed to me interesting.
• It’s not really abandoned, it’s still working, but the tips have become smaller and smaller over the last two years
