What happened
Still around.
Which ones?
+1 work in the space and almost every company I was familiar with on entering the space is still around a few years later
Do you remember a commercially viable application for blockchain that something else doesn’t do better? Me neither.
Lol 💯
They're all selling snake oil in Japan
Their customer base were those execs who thought they're bringing in cool technology into their companies, while all they needed were regular databases. Why TF do you need blockchain unless people within your company are hacking into your data?
It is conceivable that block chain-ish solution may find a real problem some day but at time now I agree w you Oracle
Block chain is WIP. The industry pumped up and jumped on an MVP, really! No one bothered to get it right and practical before adopting it. Same thing happened with a bunch of tech - we then throw out the babies with their bath water. 🙄
The few I know of pivoted into "regular" startups after getting seed money by riding on the blockchain hype wave. They still use blockchain somewhere but it's just to tick the checkbox.
