Bitcoin and Blockchain

When I started in my technology career we were faced with Y2K and the emergence of the Internet as indespensible to nearly every business.  There was a constant acceleration in terms of the speed and degree of innovation.  Then came the smartphone/app revolution. We are witnessing what could be another huge shift in our digital worlds with bitcoin and blockchain.

First let me say that I am not an expert on Bitcoin or Blockchain at this point, but I'm a believer that it will transform our lives significantly.  

At this point, the crypto-currency world is full of hype and speculation and a test of what will sell and what will make people the most money.  A lot like the internet bubble, lots of ideas will be tried and some will work and some work in terms of new currencies.  

So far I think that blockchain is really the technology that will transform every part of our technology in one way or another.  Its builds a potential system of trust that doesn't exist today.  This has potential far beyond crypto-currency, but anything and everything that involves ANY type of transaction of data or products.
