So I have a question brehs, is blockchain really that valuable as a technology? I saw some dude from Carnegie Mellon explaining how it really isn't because China and India already have digital currencies without the use of blockchain at all. He was pretty much saying that it is another silicon valley hype up
breh. blockchain is a biggg fukking deal way beyond just digital currencies. bitcoin and other currencies are just one use or app of blockchain. the technology itself is powerful because it allows you to transfer anything of value between two people without needing any type of middle man or middle man taking fees to do it. Me sending you money directly (peer-to-peer like how napster was) without needing any banks, paypal, western union, etc. to do it in a secure trusted fashion. and it's not just money that can be transferred, it can be any type of record (taxes, land ownership titles, health records, etc.).
Read up on it if you can. I'm still just scratching the surface and reading up on how it will impact my type of work in IT. biggest impact will definitely be felt in financial services industries, accounting, healthcare, supply chain, etc.
