The time is now for Blockchain
How would you describe the present outlook for blockchain and cryptocurrencies, compared with 2018? The promises and claims made in 2018 have transpired as true, yet the timescales quoted then were entirely wrong. Many critics that focused on crypto as being a fad were also proved incorrect, not because we're in a world where every application touches blockchain, but because we can see real use cases pushing through as well as Bitcoin being here to stay. I believe when it comes to demand for tokens, reliance will shift away from the communities that have been focused on capital appreciation of the tokens themselves – who have been instrumental in supporting and growing today’s crypto economy – towards those that drive the space forward: the users of blockchain products. Demand for tokens of applications from users will be the next step on the ladder. How quickly do you foresee this shift kicking in – and how available are customer-oriented retail products already? There is still a lack of usable retail products on the market for customers but there’s no doubt it’s being developed. Exchange platforms are difficult to use, which a trader can easily navigate, but less so a layperson.
