I don't think this is a baseless rant - it's an accurate observation that the most disruptive technologies don't get adopted from the top-down. It's the developers on front line who learn about it and implement.
Blockchain is at place right now where managers and marketers are asking "What can blockchain do for us". But where are the examples of "Big company X implemented blockchain to solve problem Y?" maybe it's too soon for those.
- cocktailpeanuts 9y agoYes maybe that's what this guy looked at and made the conclusion on. But these "top down" approaches never work. That's how it played out with Internet vs Intranet. When the Internet was first gaining traction all the bigcos thought the money was in Intranet because that was more "monetizable". MS went down that route and never recovered. I also used to be skeptical about all these VCs jumping into Bitcoin ecosystem, but now it's 2017 and if you look around, they kind of gave up on investing in "companies", and are instead trying to buy up the currencies themselves, which means everyone's on level playing ground, which is exactly what happened with the Internet. I am more annoyed at these marketer types who jump into Bitcoin than anyone, but I don't think these people will end up winning because they have no substance.
- AstralStorm 9y agoBad comparison. What is an Internet if not a way to link Intranets reliably? That is how it came to life...
