Too Long; Didn't Read
It took two years for Microsoft to release its Windows 1.0 in Nov 1983, 20 years later Microsoft dominated the PC market with over 90% market share. <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/blockchain" target="_blank">Blockchain</a> ecosystems are in their infancy and currently they are battling it out, but one is bound to have a similar colossal impact as Microsoft — it may not even exist yet. Today blockchain remains to grow up (it lies in pre Windows 1.0 territory). Of course, grow up it will, and fast because blockchain is to assets what the internet is to content — for the first time in history you can move value instantly from one place to the other side of the world with no intermediary. Whilst today only a very small percentage of global GDP (0.025% or $20bn) is held in the blockchain, analysts at UBS estimate that blockchains could be a $300bn to $400bn global industry by 2027. So regardless of what people say about bitcoin, blockchain is here to stay.
