The Blockchain Revolution Gets Endorsement in Wall Street Survey

They all spout this type of new fangled block trading BS.
Great news. I believe them.
Doubt it will be BTC driven.
They will just make all sorts of alts to use for their specific purposes. It's safer that way. Make a valueless coin that has a good block chain to use for trading stocks; moving values; ledgers w/ever, doesn't have to be btc.
Bad actors might steal btc, better to start a new alt and exploit that block chain.
