Internet Data and Time are very key to everything we do but today, we unwittingly give both away — at little or no cost at all. Large companies use controlled experiences to contain their user’s data and time for their own gains. The result is an increasingly closed-off and centralized Internet.
This was not the case in the past. There was a time when the Internet and the website was fully open and independent. This independence gave anyone the power to build products and services on a leveled playing field. The web in itself, was willful, vast, and magnanimous in form. As a result, the world rushed to create freely and uninhibited, springing forth lush gardens of wonders from the void.
Unknowingly to us all, a sinister development lurked in the thicket of our wanton release. It was we users that inevitably secured the rise of the social technology companies and popularized the social media. It was still we the users that gave them the power to siphon and reaped us off from what was once free and clear.
Today, large technology companies have fully taken control. These middlemen of our social fabric have built and fortified walled-gardens to direct our perceptions, control our data, and take a very large percentage of our time. These companies also control massive proprietary developer platforms — charging 30% payment fees and exert heavy influence over content distribution on their internet platforms.
The power of the Web wasn’t taken or stolen. We, collectively and gradually, by the billions, gave it away with every signed user agreement and intimate moment shared with technology. Facebook, Google, Twitter, Instagram, Amazon and so many others now monopolize almost everything that happens online, from what we buy and use on daily basis to the news we read to who we like, to pictures and videos we view. Along with a handful of powerful government agencies, they are able to monitor, manipulate, and spy in once unimaginable ways with little or no control from the users.
By controlling the flow of information and data, centralized monopolies are inhibiting the ability for users to maximize their potential value creation. You’re so plugged in never realizing that your life has been turned into a powerhouse, generating income to few capitalists, a battery for these powerful networks.
However, we have to pause and show appreciation to these companies for delivering to us a fully network-aware society. It presented to us experiences that ultimately revealed what was embedded in us all along—that we are one global society and closer drawn to each other through the web. If all the social networks disappear tomorrow, the world won't be a funny place to live. We’re all connected to one social media platform or the other, we’re a fabric — we are a live mesh.
Time has finally come in full circle once again. Blockchain technology has opened the gateway to a new leveled playing field that can address this imbalance and make the web user a wealth creator for himself.
This is the problem Alfa-Enzo say they have a solution to. They believe they can restore this vision by redistributing data and time back to the individual users. This necessitated to the introduction of Alfa, a fully inclusive, decentralized, and open data economy, where every participant is a micro-entrepreneur empowered to contribute, and guaranteed to be compensated.
Going by the claims of the Founders, Alfa is a highly visual, free form browser that puts you in the heart of the Blockchain. It lets the individual travel to the Past, Present, and Future and allows him to post content in its correct temporal context. For the first time in web history, users can go back to the past and post a baby picture, or the future to post a new event in one smooth flow.
Alfa the promoters said will let you see content Near and Far, and designed to look great on screens regardless of shape or size. Alfa combines the best features of your apps in one simple experience. And the best part — your data is locked and fully secured on your own blockchain. It truly belongs to you.
Based on two years of rigorous testing and development, Alfa delivers a unique way to align all network participants to work together toward a common goal of growing the network and the appreciation of its native token, Enzo (NZO)

CONCLUSION
Alfa Cryptocurrency has the power and versatility to improve all value exchange activities. However, due to a lack of real-world utility and adoption it has yet to penetrate the mass-market. Now that blockchain technology is easier to develop and deploy than ever before, focus has shifted from infrastructure to user experience. This will create the biggest global opportunity the world has ever seen.
