Hey BCT, I'm an analyst for an investment firm and I'm trying to do some research about future directions that blockchain technology could go in. I know my way around the basic technology and some of the biggest names, but I'm definitely still a newb. One of the things we're interested in is the eventual connection between separate blockchains. I know of projects like Hyperledger, R3 and EEA (I know these three aren't trying to do the same things) but I'm wondering if anyone has any opinion about what connected blockchains will look like, whether it's one of these initiatives succeeding or another idea altogether.
Any other opinions or thoughts about the future of blockchain is appreciated as well!
If you are interested in ideas, then I can offer the following:
