If you have been at all involved in Finance/Tech for the past few months, then you’d be well aware of all the hype surrounding cryptocurrencies. Personally, I’m most excited by the notion of decentralization — as a means to change the way we organize ourselves as a society. I also can see a future where every enterprise moves their data management and supply chain onto a blockchain. Regardless of what you think about the future of space (bullish or bearish), it is nonetheless an exciting time. You definitely want to be careful about where you are placing your bets, but there is no harm in watching from the sidelines. Only invest at your own discretion!
