I personally love doing a veto of technologies that these companies are trying to develop. There are really big problems in the current systems we're on that can be resolved by the block chain technology. I guess the way I see it, the reason why I invest is my hope to be living in a better place doing things that I usually do everyday but easier. For example stellar is adapting the blockchain tech to the transmittal of money everywhere. in a typical banking system Im always told that it would take 5 banking days for a wire transfer from states to the other side of the world. I understand that there are filters of approvals and so on but those can be done in minutes by a software , so why wait for that long for the money to be credited. Block chain tends to fix that, not only that it makes you anonymous and so your transaction is more secured than ever.
