It is said that science precedes products by several decades While we are today talking about the Blockchain revolution, let's talk about the man who built the concept of digital currency. David Chaum, as we know him was a professor who created concept of vault system in 1979 during his doctorate.
Infact he held the first annual crypto and cryptology conference, called 'CRYPTO' back in 1980.
He introduced the concept digital cash on basis of blind signature and group signatures, a form of basic decentralised ledger which is the basis of Blockchain today..
He was so ahead of his time and i think this guy does deserve respect for being the father of Blockchain as i believe he is known
In as everyone has his or her own opinion, there are some limits to things. I am not arguing or doubting you in anyway, because I believe you must have done research in one way or the other to have arrived to conclusions with the above statement made so far but I want to as well inform or better still remind of of the fact that there are some people onboard this platform who would find this post of yours offensive and not welcoming. In other to be on the right track with factual evidence I would have suggested you show or upload the source of this your findings. This thing is what researchers do to back their findings. It would help along way to cushion some reactions that might likely come to play as a result of your update. It will be nice next time you furnish us with evidence such as Link so we could read more about any such post in the nearest future.
