blockchain is a technology but why is seemingly everyone focused on payments, when that's already done?
it can be improved upon but imagine the industrial use cases (more and more appearing).
What's done? Could you pay for any goods by any crypto at the Amazon? Walmart? McDonalds? Transfer money for your old grandma? Nope.
I think we're closer to mass industrial backend adoption of crypto before mass adoption of bitcoin (or another currency) as payment method.
Exactly. And as engeneieer I can't see what could be really exciting about blockchain as technology cause there in IT we see The Next Big Thing like Web 2.0, NoSQL, SPA, etc, etc every year.
Should the people en masse be aware and excited of these new tech? I think no.
everyone already has, as mentioned in the thread, cards or cash.
while I definitely think crypto is a necessary replacement for the current monetary system, it's just seemingly a very slow and long process.
