One of the hottest and most anticipated upcoming technology trends for 2019 is the Fifth Generation (5G) wireless network technology. Rumored to start the new internet of things epoch! Knowing that there is a lot of crypto startups that are using blockchain for various interconnectivity applications and purposes, do you think this might be a good chance for crypto to go more mainstream implementing itself with the new opportunity for decentralized data storing and thus decentralized internet of things?
Not all technological advances are relevant to the development of BTC or adoption.
BTCs can already be transacted even with the worst of the worst connections, so I'm not sure how improving already good connections in 4G covered areas (which will primarily be where 5G will initially be rolled out) will help mainstream BTC adoption.
The improved bandwidth is simply not needed for the bitcoin network to be accessed, or thrive.
