I was recently having a discussion on Discord about the current trend of building decentralised Blockchain-based alternatives for everything and anything

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but it’s getting ridiculous : I’m not sure we need a decentralised traceable system for dental care (yes I’m looking at you Dentacoin)

Oh c’mon this is getting beyond ridiculous

Anyway, following that discussion, I compiled a list of blockchain-based alternatives of popular apps/products. Feel free to complete in the comments

Blockchain based alternative to Twitter :

Peepeth is built on top of the Ethereum Blockchain, this means that Peeps (tweet equivalent) can’t be edited/deleted/censored

Blockchain based alternative to Spotify :

Choon.co, “The world’s largest blockchain music platform”, allows artists to earn cryptocurrency (Choon’s own token) for every stream of their tracks.

Blockchain based alternative to Netflix :

I haven’t really found a Blockchain-based Netflix clone for now

Blockchain based alternative to ebay :

Openbazaar is probably the closest thing to a blockchain-based ebay out there, it’s been out for a while now, and it’s pretty decent to be honest

Blockchain based alternative to Facebook :

Sola platform is a “Decentralized, immutable platform” built on top of the web as for now. They are supposed to be rolling out their own blockchain circa Q2 2018

Couldn’t find any info if they meet the deadline

Blockchain based alternative to LinkedIn :

indorse.io is the blockchain based LinkedIn clone, there’s no much to say, appart the fact that the intro line sounds very bad :

“Get your skills indorsed on blockchain by our various validation methods and earn up to 50 Indorse Tokens” It sounds like it was written by a marketing intern

Blockchain based alternative to YouTube :

Dtube is built on top of STEEM Blockchain and the IPFS peer-to-peer network and seems to be the more popular alternative, but there are several more, like Viuly

Blockchain based alternative to Medium :

Steemit, built on top of STEEM Blockchain, is a Medium clone

Blockchain based alternative to Twitch :

sliver.tv appears to be the most popular blockchain alternative to Twitch, It appears to be centralised but backed by the cryptocurrency Theta Token
