Bitcoin changed the way how people look at the currency. A currency needs no longer to be controlled by any government or centralized bank i.e no government has the right/control over your money. It is only guided by codes and the code only controls it.
But Bitcoin has its own set of problems and they are-
For mainstream adoption of blockchain technology (underlying technology of Bitcoin), all four problems were needed to be solved.
In 2014, a crypto-genius, Vitalik Buterin in order to solve few problems introduced Ethereum as web 2.0. It was widely adopted and welcomed by crypto-enthusiasts all over the world.
Using Bitcoin people could exchange value without any third party but the exchange of value only if a certain condition is met was missing from the bitcoin. Vitalik looked at this problem and introduced smart contract on the top bitcoin.
Ethereum also introduced a Turing complete(one could use loops) language Solidity. People were able to create DApps over the top of blockchain and even crowdfund issuing tokens. But the Ethereum platform has its own limitation, let's looks at Pros and Cons of Ethereum Blockchain.
Smart contracts help you exchange money, property, shares, or anything of value in a transparent, conflict-free way while avoiding the services of a middleman.
In parallel, Daniel Larimer was working on a decentralised exchange which could solve the centralisation problem Bitcoin and Ethereum were facing. He started developing "Protoshare" which we today know as "Bitshares". It has a unique consensus model, DPOS (Delegated Proof of Stake) which had 21 Active Block Producers and 100 Non - Active Block Producers. Producers are elected by the community based on their stake they hold in the network, making it more centralized. Daniel left Bitshares in 2014-15 to work on STEEM Blockchain which is most widely used blockchain attracting the mainstream internet users.
In 2017 Daniel left STEEM to built a competitor of Ethereum solving many of it's problems.
As stated on the official website
EOSIO is an Operating System on which scalable Decentralized Autonomous Communities “DACs” can easily be built, launched, and governed. Made possible through asynchronous smart contract communication, EOSIO is designed to empower communities to create the next era of disruptive organizations.
Just take it as an operating system like Windows/iOS on which help the developer communicating with blockchain like the latter help communicating with the internet and development of websites.
EOS will create many opportunities for almost everyone looking to dive in the community.
If you are a developer or looking for opportunities in software development, the EOS network has made it easier to build DApp over the top of the blockchain. Developers without worrying about the cryptographic implementation of the blockchain could develop Dapps using various tools.
A Lot of opportunities - Blockchain is relatively a new technology and not many people are aware of it.
Dapps gets funded by eosVC, if you have an idea which could be the next big thing write it to [email protected], or wait for next hackathon organised by Block.One.
EOS is revolutionizing the way decentralized business are developed on the blockchain, it makes easier for developers to create new business and fund new projects, which will attract a lot of eyeballs and one could see the rapid growth of business on the blockchain.
The new businesses will open a lot of opportunities not only for developers but also for marketers, operation ninjas, growth hacker, arbitrators, content creators or any other profile one could think of.
