Would the blockchain had such an adoption without ICOs or gambling?
Imagine the blockchain tech (which wasn't even named like that at first).
Now remove ICOs, remoe the vast amount of money that are gambled daily (I do it also).
Would companies/startups/fanatics still use it?
- celticninja 9y agoIt has a variety of use cases and so yes it would still be around. ICO's are a relatively new use for blockchains and it did fine before they appeared. It's usefulness for darknetmarkets was a primary feature in its initial adoption and gambling, well where you have money you will find gamblers.
- olegious 9y agoBlockchains provide solutions to problems that require one (or more) of the following- 1)an immutable, transparent record of transactions 2) trust between parties that don't trust each other 3) optional anonymity 4) decentralization. Any one of these use cases could be a reason to use blockchain beyond the ICO use case.
