News and Opinions

According to TechCrunch Editor-At-Large, Josh Constine, beyond Coinbase where we witnessed a huge flood of users in late 2017, early 2018, and thus a spike in prices, there has not been any truly mainstream blockchain firms. He also added that it might take a few years before real mainstream applications for blockchain emerge. The main issue affecting massive adoption is the design, usability and the UX.

Additionally, the TechCrunch editor pointed out that mainstream adoption may take a while since attackers are always going to keep improving their skills. However, if big companies hire talented individuals to tackle these issues, we may witness an era of massive cryptocurrency and blockchain adoption.
