Blockchain 2.0: Evolution in Progress
It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects. — Nikola Tesla.
Perhaps, there’s no better way to summarize the overall state of development of the fairly nascent technology that is blockchain, than with the words of the oft-overlooked innovator Nikola Tesla. As we discussed last time, Blockchain’s first foray into the mainstream was with the introduction of Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin whitepaperand its intended purpose was to enable users to transact directly with each other without the need for a trusted third party.
The original use of blockchain-based technology to transfer cryptocurrency peer-to-peer already demonstrates its tremendous potential, but as Tesla puts it, “the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense.”
