@GOOD-Karma... Thank You for bringing up & sharing this topic...

It certainly would seem that BlockChain Technology is improving with incredible, innovative ideas/concepts that are being driven by both money AND competition, which imho is VERY Good for a healthy, growing, relatively Young industry... where we are literally witnessing so Much innovation almost on a daily basis... that the FUTURE looks Very Bright... InDeed !!

So Bright (( as the song goes )) that we're gonna have to wear shades !!

But on a more serious note... when we look back 5 Years & NOW witness all the incredible innovations that are currently here today... AND then if we just Look FORWARD 5 Years... oh my Gosh... the World is literally transforming at LIGHT SPEED...

AND, if it was not for the intentional creation of FEAR/FUD by the"Dark Side". sometimes known as the Central Bankers/Old Paradigm... well, You see where I'm going here...

But of course, as with any new innovation, there is the normal or previous adoption rates that could sometimes take 15 to 20 years or longer, if we go back prior to 1900... now however, with almost instant global communication, adoption rates are going FASTER & FASTER... with INNOVATION seemingly growing at EXPONENTIAL Rates !!

Please READ today's news release by the EOS Team led by @Dan, the CTO... and witness for Yourself how quickly the crypto currency markets are moving... AND again, imho, it is only going to accelerate Faster as we progress into 2018 !!
