Episode Summary
In this episode, I talk with Paddy (aka Spartacusrex), the CTO, and he introduces my long-time favorite blockchain called Minima Global. Blockchain that runs on your phone or any edge device. Of course, we also talk about his journey into crypto/blockchain world, the early adoption of Bitcoin, and the appeal of decentralization.
Paddy explains how Minima was started and the importance of decentralization in their project. We talk about the business model of Minima and the launch of the network, the supply cap of Minima, and the minimum number of users needed for the successful decentralization of the network, including the full decentralization of Minima's servers, which happened in Jan2024, and the use of Minima in cars or writing MiniDapps on top of the network.
It seems that big things are coming for Minima, so check it out and get it for your phone, computer, or both.
Takeaways
The success of a blockchain project depends on the number of users and the level of decentralization achieved.
Minima Network aims to provide a user-friendly experience and make blockchain technology accessible to everyone.
It's better when people are not paid to secure the network, but rather, everyone has to provide a node for others to be able to participate in the network.
