Blockchain Bubble? No. Blockchain Babble? Yes.

What is all the babble about?

Outside of the tech space, many people aren’t familiar with the word blockchain. They may have heard of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but blockchain itself tends to mystify the masses.

If you spend time online, however, you’ve likely heard of both bitcoin and blockchain. Asking, “What is the underlying programming language to interact with the Ethereum blockchain?” often leads to blank stares, however. So does asking, “Where does a web developer learn to interact with the blockchain?”

You are an Internet person, so you are not ignorant to blockchain. You may not know that Solidity is the programming language of choice for Ethereum, and you may not be aware that grabbing transactions from a blockchain ledger is possible with a web API, and you may not be aware that linking the web and blockchains is possible today, reliably.

We held an event to babble about the not-a-bubble. We did not discuss any cryptocurrency market prices and the hard forks that are messing with the bank accounts of teenage and retirement-age investors. We discussed the technical.

Blockchain conversations are becoming blockchain businesses. There are now consultancies, like Upstate Interactive and Web3Devs, focusing on blockchain solutions for businesses. We are finding a lot of great conversation from the past turning in our most exciting projects. In fact, you can expect the blockchain people you know to continue babbling on about it.

Fundamental technologies are enabled by hard research. Then those technologies are commercialized. Finally, they are consumerized.

We are seeing applications now at the commercial level and there are more coming through our door every day.

Babble on!
