Strategic Analysis of Dfinity

Hey guys!

In this video I have tried my best to do a strategic analysis of Dfinity.
I must admit, this was the hardest one I have done on this VLOG so far primarily because 90% of the documentation about this company and their product offering is highly technical: which as I have made clear before – I am not. So please forgive me if I make any mistakes or misinterpretations.
Please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know if there is anything incorrect. I do want to try and understand the product as it is of interest to me and perhaps my overall opinion might be different if I’m missing a major point.

Anyway – I look forward to your thoughts!

***PLEASE NOTE SINCE I POSTED THIS ON YOUTUBE, DFINITY HAVE SHARED MY POST AND LEFT ME THE FOLLOWING COMMENT ON TWITTER:

"@FlamingoKrypto, DFINITY won't be renting server space. Node providers will stake DFN to run mining nodes, receiving DFN mining rewards as compensation. Many mining nodes will likely be in data centers, but anyone can run a mining node anywhere they like." (Dfinity, Twitter, 2019)

My response was as follows:
"Thanks for sharing. I understood that large scale data centers were likely to be the largest to assist in the network but your right I totally missed the point of normal people being able to help too.
I love the fact you caught it so quick too. I hadn't even shared it myself yet! Just shows how on the ball your Marketing is." (KryptoFlamingo, Twitter, 2019)
