I for one have become a big proponent of blockchain technology, especially the crypto-economics used to jumpstart powerful network effects.

But with so many opinions and noise floating around, I thought it would be beneficial to take a deep dive into the ramifications of blockchain technology as it relates to today’s top tech companies.

A quick explanation
For those new to the space, blockchains are immutable (unchangeable), often trustless ledgers — creating digital scarcity and the possibility for much more.

And at least in theory, it would be owned by the users — something unheard of today.
