Blockchain Myths You Should Stop Believing (Especially About TON)
Ever heard someone say, “Blockchain is just Bitcoin,” or “Every transaction is anonymous”? Let’s clear that up fast:
1️⃣ Blockchain ≠ Just Crypto
Real-world use: Shipping (Maersk), Government (Estonia), Retail (Walmart). Blockchain goes way beyond coins.
2️⃣ Not Unhackable, Just Secure
Blockchain’s secure, but not perfect. Remember Ethereum’s DAO hack? Security requires vigilance.
3️⃣ Pseudonymous ≠ Anonymous
Transactions tie to addresses (nicknames), not directly to people but nicknames can get tracked.
4️⃣ Speed Varies TON Wins Big
Transactions: Bitcoin (10–60 min), Ethereum (15–30 sec), TON? 2–5 sec, at 100,000 TPS.
5️⃣ Blockchain Isn’t Free
Bitcoin fees can spike, Ethereum gas can get pricey. TON? Usually fractions of a cent affordable and fast.
6️⃣ TON ≠ Telegram
Born from Telegram, now independent. Multi-threaded, scalable, secure. It’s built different.
Let’s clear the myths and explore the real potential of blockchain especially TON.
