Mindset matters

 

The first mover advantage maybe a myth like MySpace. It is not necessary to have a first mover advantage, but it may do good if managed correctly. In the world of crypto we could see Bitcoin reigning over a decade as the leading coin. It got its first mover advantage and it is way ahead than other altcoins. But does it means it will lead forever ? Not really. I’m case of Amazon the first mover advantage was a great benefit. It is not that because of Amazon being the first to deliver goods through online, it is the ever growth mindset of Jeff Bezos.

Like in case of any other thing, the important factor is not the advantage, but the mindset that drives it behind. Last day I wrote about having a progressive mindset. But when it comes to BTC, the driver behind it is clearly absent. Its first mover advantage is getting it to the top, but as soon as when one person with growth mindset comes with an equivalent product (which already happened), the first mover advantage may slay.

 The reason we see even the old services when introduced by some growth mindset individual, it even surpasses the giant. Maybe mosaic is an example.

This is a high incentive for those who works with high computational powers. They would demand this. But in case of private blockchain there is no need of providing a currency in the form of incentives. Private blockchains are used when the peer nods comes to know each at least half of them. They form a network of peer group and validate the transactions. Since private blockchain entitles the identity of each nodes, it is impossible to get a lot of people through. So these private blockchain lacks popularity and hence there is no coin. But this is extremely helpful in large corporations to store and validate data. They can create a supply chain where everything could be traceable form the very beginning. It involves no s...
