What factors will satisfy us that blockchain technology is on track for realizing its potential?
Because as of now we see very little in the way of commercial and user engagement...
the big threat to bitcoin is hyperledger.. all the main banks and financial corps are getting involved in it. they have already fun some sand box tests on each of their sidechains.
..
as for other altcoins.. well they are gimmicky pump and dumps.
Does Bitcoin represent the only possible success for blockchain tech and again what does success mean?
For example, does success mean:
Freedom from government oversight?
Disintermediation of banks?
Serving the underprivileged?
If could wave a wand what would the future look like?
