and based on your info, do you think:
1) it's 90% fad ?
2) it does improve the existing ?
3) do you think the broad principles can reach other parts of society (I do, but I'm not connected to anybody in the industry.. I should though)
I don't really know, to be honest. I haven't done much research on it. But I know the types of people that talk about it have little authority on the subject, so by that metric I'm not a fan.
But I could be wrong.
This is already its own industry. Lots of big companies have bought into the blockchain aspect of it.
Unfortunately I can't give you any names. I just know a few select friends of mine quite literally never shut up about it.
I just know it exists.
