Crypto Startups Should Go All-In On Blockchain: Expert Opinon

Crypto startups need to focus on the blockchain rather than bitcoin according to Bernhard Schroeder, the managing director of entrepreneur programs at San Diego State. According to our coming altcoin news, Schroeder classified bitcoin as a ‘’speculative investment.’’

He believes that bitcoin might not work out in long-term but says blockchain is a ‘’serious technology.’’ Schroeder believes that the blockchain technology has a lot of potentials that will emerge from the companies who want to build on it. Companies who failed during the ICO boom in 2017 should now follow four areas that entrepreneurs should look. Also, investors and industries should get exposure to blockchain technology according to Schroeder:

 “So why should you as an entrepreneur or investor care more about blockchain than Bitcoin? Bitcoin is still a speculation on a future crypto currency that the world may not yet adopt. Maybe in the future, maybe not. But blockchain is a serious technology that can provide a variety of solutions. Imagine you are an automotive manufacturer and you have a product quality problem. Rather than recall thousands or millions of cars, you can simply recall the cars whose part is potentially defective based on blockchain identification and tracking.”

The areas that the crypto startups should follow include digital rights management, tokenizing other assets, customer rewards programs and digitizing real estate. Of course, there are more uses cases for blockchain technology but he believes those are the most important areas. Schroeder focuses mostly on those because he believes they have the most potential.

Following the reports in the best cryptocurrency news sites, a huge number of companies are tackling digital rights management via blockchain. For example, BitTorrent’s cryptocurrency is one example of how to handle that. The holders of the coin will be able to use it to purchase content directly from its creator.

Schroeder makes a valid point that people are too close to cryptocurrencies and usually get burned. This is why he stated:

 “In the 1800’s it was not always the gold miners who thrived. But the people who sold picks and shovels did. In the early days of the internet, it was not the multitude of startups that were rewarded. Most failed. But the builders of web infrastructure and internet technology thrived. Don’t confuse the adoption of Bitcoin as a digital currency with the enormous potential for blockchain technology.”
