Summary: the World Economic Forum report released Friday 8/12/16 predicts that the blockchain will "come to occupy a central place in the global financial system". Notably, the term Bitcoin was not used once.
This is a big deal, because the blockchain is gaining mainstream acceptance not just inside our community. It's a big deal for:
- All parties with vested interests, morals, and visions about the world's financial order.
- Steem, for steemit, for social media clones.
- Bitcoin, for ether.
- ** Our community**
The best coins will win in the race to come. May there always be coin pushing the desires and dreams of the people.
