Blockchain technology has often been described as a revolutionary force, promising transparency, security, and decentralization. However, beneath this promise lies a paradox—blockchain exists in two distinct forms: public (permissionless) and private (permissioned). Each variant serves different purposes, promising different levels of security, privacy, and scalability. In this article, we analyze blockchain’s split personality and explore whether one type holds greater long-term potential over the other. Defining the Divide Public blockchains, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, are open networks. Anyone can participate, view transactions, and validate data. This openness fosters trust through consensus mechanisms, such as Proof-of-Work (PoW) or Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Key…

Introduction Traditional databases have served businesses and organizations well for decades, providing structured storage and rapid data retrieval. However, they come with inherent limitations—particularly in security, transparency, and scalability—that blockchain technology addresses effectively. While databases excel in well-controlled environments, they falter under the demands of trustless ecosystems, data integrity, and interoperability. Below, we explore why traditional databases fall short where blockchain thrives. Lack of Decentralization and Trustlessness Traditional databases rely on a central authority controlling access, modifications, and validation. This single point of failure exposes them to fraud, manipulation, and censorship. Conversely, blockchain operates on a decentralized, distributed ledger, where…

Some of blockchain’s earliest adopters are now deeply “entrenching” themselves in decentralized AI, with ecosystems like Bittsenor (TAO) emerging as growth engines.
