We need a Blockchain ETF! And an HTTP ETF!! And an IOT ETF! ETF all the things!

Don't forget the TCP/IP ETF. I hear TCP/IP's the latest thing. Roll Eyes

The Dilbert cartoon below is based on the level of knowledge most business people have about the blockchain. I bet the people at the SEC have been told 'blockchain' will revolutionise business, and if they don't approve the ETF then 'blockchain' will be distressed.

Very true. You notice a handful of companies shoe-horning "blockchains" into systems that really would see no additional benefit from it? Have a feeling a few "blockchain installation" companies will be popping up offering their expertise to company heads on how the "blockchain" will simply make everything better for their field of work.

And the thing is, those managerial type people tend to be clueless about a variety of topics when you go into a specific enough niche. I work in retail floor maintenance and some of the stupid ass shit you hear from retail employees all the way up to store managers is quite baffling. So I can easily see someone pushing a "blockchain agenda" into a few managers heads at a variety of businesses.
