Google Billionaire Sergey Brin Says Google Missed An Opportunity To Adopt Blockchain Technology
Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, is the last person we expected to see at a blockchain event that took place at a summit at Sir Branson’s hotel in Morocco. Wearing a white robe and in a comfortable setting he told other attendees a story about his mining operations with his son.
“A year or two ago my son insisted that we needed to get a gaming PC. I told him If we get a gaming PC we have to mine cryptocurrency. So we got an Ethereum miner on there and we’ve been making a few pennies and dollars since. That definitely got me interested and I started to study the technology behind it and found it to be fascinating.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In addition to this touching father and son story, he revealed his feelings about Google’s missed opportunity. He acknowledges that Google has already missed the moment when it could benefit most from using the blockchain technology, but he believes that working in this direction may allow them to jump in the bandwagon.
“We probably already failed to be on the bleeding edge, I’ll be honest, [… but] I see the future as taking these kind of research-y, kind of out there ideas and making them real — and Google X is kind of like that.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Such statements on the part of the ‘tech behemoth’ reinforce the apprehensions about the blockchain’s capacity. It remains to be seen if Google will join other major companies like Walmart, MasterCard and Western Union in growing in the field of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
