Blockchain Thread So yo, I’m trying to understand the blockchain market for future blockchain investing. It seems that HIVE is the one serious holding right now. They are a blockchain miner who is accumulating the coins. It appears there are a bunch of different blockchain related companies but I’m curious as to what you / we think the opportunity is with blockchain integration. Specifically, are banks and other financial companies going to do all of their blockchain integration in-house or are they going to go to blockchain specialty companies to help them migrate their internal systems over to blockchain? These videos are the most interesting I have watched thus far as far as blockchain and investing philosophy with real companies.
