The word revolution comes from the latin revolutio, meaning a turn around. It could mean a modification of an existing constitution, or a complete change of it.

The word revolution comes from the latin revolutio, meaning aturn around. It could mean a modification of an existing constitution,or a complete change of it. However, revolution is almost alwaysunderstood as a quick change. And that is exactly where my pitfalldetector starts ringing.

In recent months we have seen many claims of revolutionarydevelopments and technologies in the crypto scene. Next to a plethora ofnew coins being announced, there are also organizations claiming to havethe next big thing. The many new hypes are often flashy enough to wooa great amount of users of cryptocurrency into investing their coinsinto these ventures.

Along with many revolutions that have happened in human history came notonly rapid, significant changes in (geo)politics and social situations,yet most often also systemic instability and insecurity, loss ofcultural identity, and destruction of value. Pitfalls, many of themhistorically documented, that come back with every revolution. And thesemass-behavioural cycles, in circling back to zero, oust unwantedelements out of a system. What can we deduce from this? Revolution alsomeans reinvention and reset, and the effects of this are not solely beneficial.

Evolution, on the other hand, is less often highlighted in social andcultural contexts. And yet in a manner of speech we often refer topositive development processes in society and in our cultures asevolutionary ones. Nature itself contains many forms of evolution andprogression, and it forms a prime example for our own development.

When weighing evolution versus revolution, the Internet of Coins team has decided onattempting to navigate a more long term route. Instead of simplydeclaring another revolution, they seem to rather declare an evolutionaimed at augmenting technologies that are already out there. It is theannouncement of a project that is aimed at organic growth. Notreinventing wheels, but rather enhancing the current state of money-likeinformational commodities we call crypto currency.

It is possible to bring change step-by-step. To replace the currentfinancial structure all of the crypto currency enthousiasts togetherneed to create something so useful that it makes the current systemsobsolete. This movement and the work it encompasses are of suchmagnitude that it cannot be done overnight. So we may want to choose ourpositions wisely.

With the Internet of Coins projectand the other decentralized options out there it may become realistic tostart adding stability and overall constructive development to thecryptosphere. Together making strides towards being evolutionary,instead of just revolutionary.
