"How do you bring disruptive
innovation in Silicon Valley, where
disruption is the norm?"
So now that I can securely pay you
without having to rely on the multitude
of intermediaries that characterized the
banking and financial services industry
until now, do you think that is
disruptive? The fact that I could
virtualize my household’s energy net
production and trade that over an open
market, is that disruptive? Can you
think of other applications of the
technology in an industry you’re
familiar with?
What I find to be truly disruptive is the
simple fact that this technology has
sparked the imagination of thousands
of brilliant minds, leading to further
innovation through the creative
process of combining blockchain with
other technologies and ideas.
I think this is a big wave and would
advise to at least keep an eye on it, if
you really do not want to surf it.
