I think that blockchain technology will always be important, that it will be used for various trading platforms.
That this technology is developed in universities is a good idea, since in countries where this technology is more developed they can develop new features to improve this system, such as improving privacy, speed and perhaps the commissions to use it. We must not forget the implementation of this technology to banks.
In less developed countries, this technology can be very important for solving theft, corruption or possible hacking problems by computer organizations.
I think that knowledge of Blockchain is a necessity in universities.
