RE: Hi, I’m William Mougayar from Toronto, Canada. I'm an investor & author of The Business Blockchain – the first business book that fully explains the blockchain’s implications on business.
Welcome, William! How has the early internet era of startups been similar or different from the blockchain era?
wow....in so many ways...many many ways, and I cover that a lot in my book where I refer to that analogy, because I was there from Day 1 with the Internet/Web and had a similar role, ie. to explain its evolution to businesses and the market.
Startup-wise specifically, there is as much money and attention as there was in 2000 during the Internet days, BUT with an inventory of startups that look more like what we had in 1996-1997.
I'd like to see more quality in blockchain related startups, and we are starting to see improvements across the board.
Interesting how the capital and number of startups compare. I wonder if ultimately Blockchain will have a bigger impact than the Internet wave, even if it takes longer to get there?
Yes and Yes.
It will have a bigger impact, but perhaps over a longer period of time.
But I reserve the right to re-assess this answer in 2 years, depending on how it develops :)
