Moving Beyond Blockchain Protocols
A large focus of the blockchain industry today is on the underlying protocol. People are working on the next TCP/IP that the future decentralized internet will be built on. However, the industry is also very similar to the Internet’s state in 1995. In that year, Marc Andreessen was asked at a talk “What are some websites you think are interesting?” Marc, could not come up with any, but nonetheless said that the internet still had huge potential. Blockchain is in a similar state now, where there is a dearth of actual blockchain applications that non-enthusiasts would use.
This session will explore different possibilities for blockchain to move beyond the protocol level into mainstream usage.
