now that i am on a computer, i would like to add my thoughts as i understand them. not a genius. blockchain is the platform crytocurrency runs on is the future of financial transactions. IBM for one is heading that way. there are over 100 crytocurrencies, maybe four are relevant. bitcoin, ethereum, dash and tether. its not believed they will be relevant when blockchain dominates transactions. my personal opinion is its a way to do away with cash or negro exchanges and have every transfer of money with a digital footprint. its said title companies for real estate transactions in the US would not be needed. everything has a footprint.
