More and more companies are investing and researching blockchain technologies and that's a great news and very impressive. It is interesting that they don't give a damn about Bitcoin and they act like it doesn't exist, I guess they are just copying our technology.
It will be interesting where will this bring us. Will this hinder our adoption and our use cases throughout the world. Or will people still choose decentralized over these centralized systems? I think that these competing centralized blockchain systems will give us competition, but in the long run, they are doomed, as they are centralized.
I hope this will have the Compuserve and AOL effect. Because if not our goal to bring out Bitcoin to the whole world might fail. And the bastards who are in power will stay in power and all dreams and imaginations of more personal choice and financial freedom will vanish.
Well if you had a chance to listen to Andreas Antonopoulos, this is the best possible thing that could happen to us. According to him, all these companies will lay the infrastructure down for us and teach people how to use cryptocurrencies, then when they fail because of the centralization, in this forum or another, all the people will have only one choice, to accept Bitcoin, of course if they haven't done it so already.
Let's hope the things will play out exactly like this!
