"Several people in Google’s infrastructure group, which reports to cloud chief Diane Greene, have been tinkering with blockchain protocols in recent months, according to another person familiar with the company. Other Google insiders said recently that the cloud business is a natural place for blockchain-related services. The people asked not to be identified talking about the subject because the company isn’t ready to make an announcement yet."
So, in other words, a few engineers are allegedly messing around on the side with blockchain code. There is no announcement or official plan to use it. And two or more Google employees have stated (at some point) that blockchain nodes work well on cloud servers.
Bloomberg does a lousy job at news, but a great job at making crypto look bad to its readers. This article is a great exhibit for people to point to and say that blockchain is a hype bubble. Don't be fooled by the fake news.
