Twenty years ago there was a disruptive upstart technology, with a reputation for being used for crime, that was just opening the doors to mass market commercialization. Today, that technology, the Internet, underpins all global communications, commerce, and information sharing. Today, a new technology is undergoing its own birthing pains as it emerges onto the scene. What will it take for bitcoin and the blockchain to achieve the same global prominence and what will the world look like when we get there? In this talk Justin will explore the similarities and differences in the rise of the Internet and the rise of Bitcoin, and what that may mean for individuals and institutions alike.
