Blockchain, and all that it will become is not just for venture capitalists hunting for the next big start-up. This is not a fad. Even if bitcoin fails, which I do not believe will happen, many established companies and startups are developing other uses for blockchains to secure information from tampering while giving every user access to the entire record of transactions. The pitch is that you can trust blockchain data even if you don't trust others participating in the chain. It's like a giant spreadsheet shared by many, but with no one empowered to doctor past records. The Blockchain appears to have the potential to be as trans-formative as the internet and I for one am and will be apart of it.
