Second: Last year we did some bold predictions for 2022 via this #Linkedin Post, and by and large we stood by it, throughout the year, through thick and thin!
The Minimum Viable Community was then all the rage on Social Media, via the over use of the word ‘Metaverse’ in 2022 !! #BullRuN2023 !!
The whole point of bold predictions is to have it wrong too: We’ll see where, too ! …
1.2. #FREEDOM OF REACH ?
Opening up with the ‘Maximalist’ intent of speaking about freedom of reach on Social Media, shows that the emphasis for 2023, will be all about the technological FREEDOM OF REACH, as far as WEB3;0. is nowadays concerned!
1.3. FREEDOM OF SPEECH ON SOCIAL MEDIA, nowadays is a concept, a complex idea that should govern the rights of citizens to say whatever they want, however they want, with a lot of caveats from the ‘community guidelines’ of the centralised platforms you might use, to governments, continental or extra-territorial regulations, …that will govern how to express yourself on those platforms.
Political systems will play a huge part in how those rules are enforced, or not.. A case-by-case study of each involved country’s political system’s will be required too ..or at least their DATA and CYBER-SPACE REGULATION
In the current context, of ‘Cultural Wars’ going on social media, you will therefore offend somebody if you tweet long enough ! —> Offending the ‘BIG SOCIETY’ (See below) of the platform you publish on, is a sure way to get ‘shaddow-banned’, ‘Demonetized’, ‘Striked’, or outright banned from the platforms !
2.0. #SocialPrison(?)
As part of our ‘Digital Inception’ approach to social media:
We’ve raised here, at #ADMP VIRTUAL INCUBATOR, via our multiple channels, the issue of Social Media BIG SOCIETY a long time ago, back in 2015 : #FACEBOOK BIG SOCIETY !
Interestingly, we wrote this, after a #FACEBOOKDOWN event, when #Facebook went down for a few hours in 2015: “
> #ACROSTATIC
That chain of 'event' and the ability to voice its opinion on another social media platform, shows the 'Impact' of your 'Big Society' (Formerly a 'Community'). It therefore, convey to your platform the 'Big Society' status, as events happening on your platform end-up affecting with a significant IMPACT, another social media platform. That is how you can 'Electronically' quantify reaching the 'Big Society' status. “
After several use cases, from reddit, to #Twitter, to #Tumblr, #WeChat, #Telegram, #Lime, #Dikalo, Whatsapp, Tik-Tok, to #Discord,…going back and forth with the core principles of the ‘Digital Inception’… we’ve come to the conclusion that, when it comes to social media platforms ‘complex’ moderation policy :
—> Therefore, ALL scaled-up social media platforms with a global or even ‘national’ coverage, will have to comply at some point, to the rules of its BIG SOCIETY(Community guidelines, Lobbysts, Online Cultural Warriors, Maximalists, .. ) when it comes to the ‘Town Hall’ part of its platform.
—> The part of the feed, where the mainstream should express itself within strict rules of thought and speech…
That’s the common trend around the world. —> Data. regulation is coming. Some of it quite ‘heavy-handed’ in 2023, too !
- 3.0. When does that point come? -
The answer to that complex question is :
When enough of its citizen have been exposed to harm! - Data sovereignty will continue to be at the forefront of regulators mind throughout the world:
—> Therefore, you should expect some ‘feverishly’ rash’ decisions by governments and regulators, too in 2023 !
Especially when it comes to a government for example…but for a ‘Maximalist community’ (Be it the ‘Navy’, ‘#DTS Army’, ‘#BitcoinMaximalists’, …) some virtual lines will have to be stepped on enough times for the other side to ask to the moderators for your removal from the platform !
4.0. TECHNO-CULTURAL UNIT
FACT: Wether you are Elon Musk at #Twitter or Mark Zuck, #Facebook:.. You are currently running techno-cultural platforms, that require a ‘Techno-cultural’ answers to its problems!
It will therefore require you to rely on .. :
Yes, Algorithms and code,
Yes automation and engineering
and yes, ‘Open-sourced Human intelligence’ input, too !
Build a regtech (Regulation technology) incubator to learn how to better regulate your own ‘creation’!
and yes, to finish with, ‘Trials and errors’, ‘Try things, Break things, ..’ etc..
Techno-cultural platforms like #Wechat, # #Youtube #Twitter,..with the ability to AMPLIFY your message to many online communities, are built to do Faster, Cheaper and at scale, will need to have some centralised aspects and some that is decentralised! -
The main channel or ‘mainstream’ of the platform ..if you want … The ‘Town hall’ part can remain centralised and submitted to open-sourced moderation from the entire platform’s BIG SOCIETY, via voting, polls, ‘speech patrols’, opened to the wider public of users …
The secondary channels where ‘private groups’ can be created within those decentralized ‘rooms’ and spaces’, where a ‘relative stronger guaranty’ can be implemented:
—> At that point, ‘Freedom of reach’,is the ability to reach a maximum of peoples within the users own online community, in a decentralised fashion !
Social Media platforms should have an ongoing relationship with its main online influencers, stockholders, on a regular basis via polls, quizzes, open-sourced intelligence from the online community, and…as wide and transparent broadcasts or streams as possible, to reinforce ‘Trust’ in its system !
Sharing some of the social media platform’s advertising profits pie is also high in 2023 content creator’s shopping list ! #Tik-tok, #Patreon and #Youtube have started setting up potential ‘career paths’ for its most prolific creators with revenue-sharing setups
In a nutshell, ‘Freedom of reach’ shall guaranty the right to amplify your message in a decentralized fashion to your ‘private’ online community at all (Whenever possible, within some of the local’ community guidelines rules, still! ) TIMES !!
5.0. WHAT WILL #CRYPTO, DO NEXT ?
After #FTX, Hush-Puppy, #Terra-Luna, … The concept of ‘Freedom for all’ is interesting as long as it does involve positive actors and malicious ones being kept at bay. The ongoing ‘Digital Soap Opera’ that is nowadays the crypto-ecosystem is either ‘interesting’ or ‘Downright bad’ !
We won’t name the baddies, Lambo Kids, fraudsters, scammers, scoffers, techno-spiv, that are hidding behind what was once a great label: #Crypto.
5.1. #PONZINOMICS ARMAGEDDON ?
In the other hand, the subsequent tumbling noise of #Ponzinomics crypto-scams is ‘good’ as it seems to bleed out the bad ‘Blood’ away from the crypto Ecosystem, according to some ‘Bitcoin Maximalists’.
—>
You heard it first: Expect more crypto-collapses in 2023 !! Especially in mining…
Will crypto survive its latest ‘Bear age’ or ‘Crypto-Crash’ ?
Yes of course! —> Did you stop driving after watching a car crash ? NO ! : WHY ? - Because, the ‘pros’ outweigh the cons’, in most use cases.
It is still fundamentally sound technology and it is part of the life and cycles of disruptive ecosystem, operating on the edge of regulation :
The current ‘crash-correction’ should be quick and fast and should rid the Ecosystem of its ‘bad apples’ whilst providing use cases for regulators and politicians.
The reality of the crypto-market has clearly defines itself in its still young existence as a 2-tier market:
At the top, Bitcoin and Ethereum, whom both had case studies printed on their white-paper that were supposed to go beyond just a quick financial speculative gain :
Decentralised peer-to-peer money transfer ‘available to the entire planet’ for Bitcoin
A ‘centralised’ ecosystem where web3.0. could be built on for #Ethereum
Both are still on course of achieving their initial project thanks to their global dynamic online communities. —> Expect a ‘Flight to safety’ and strong ‘Hodlers moves’ for 2023, to keep those two afloat by their online communities! (#BitcoinCore #ETHCore) -
#HAPPYSATOSHIDAY on 03/01/2023 !
That is your ‘solid’ FIRST TIER.
The second tier, is made of coins that are backed by a real industrial project like #Cardano, #Solana, …etc…whom still want to make a dent on the real economy.
That’s roughly 10 coins…A long “crypto-time” ago we even BLOGGED ABOUT IT : ‘The #Crypto Jackson Fives and the Crypto-BIG SOCIETY’ on #ADMP Awards, January the 7th 2020! …were we WRONG? - Pray tell us !! -
5.2. Third tier and the … $h*tcoinery Paradigm:
THE REST OF THE COINS, would require you to simply investigate with ‘detective-level’ of forensic the structure of the company, the coin, the technology the white-paper, the liquidity, the CEO, the staff, the lead coder, the tech-lead, etc…before making any rash decision !
—> You would need a team to investigate every coins properly, if you want to avoid falling into $h*tcoinery land ! - A land where experimentations, creativity, highly technical wizardry and outright scams live side-by-side in unregulated fashion !
Some of it is GOOD…
Some of it is BAD…
MOST of it, will not see the light of day in reality …
Was it worth it?
Sure! Why not?…
We do not give out financial advise via this blo, it is purely a speculative look at what the year 2023 entails …
6.0. #NFTS and #METAVERSE, WILL STAY AROUND !
The #NFT community is the last addition to the WEB3.0 BIG SOCIETY ! - We at #ADMP predicted the importance of those Minimum Viable Communities, via Admpers #MireilleKOOH, as early as 2017 !
- We intend to see more from a vibrant community fuelled by the fire of ‘Digital Arts’, online gaming, ‘Cartoon’, ‘Manga’, ‘Anime’, ‘Meme Culture’ and ‘Disruptive Arts’ by definition!
The #Metaverse digital creators are now building will be the home for all of that disruptive arts, once our societies will adopt ‘remote-working’ as a ‘normal’, effective and productive form of work.
The #NFT probably does represent such an internet- fundamentally-sound case study that it does tick all the hallmark of yet another internet …
… runaway train! : Think the email or even… podcasting!
The internet, after all, is still Undefeated, isn’t it ?
