In November 2015, with a single bitcoin priced at $400, J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said bitcoin would “not survive”. Since then, the cryptocurrency hasn’t just survived, but thrived, with the price of bitcoin peaking near $5,000 in early September 2017. Additionally, in 2017 YTD hundreds of companies have raised almost $2B in initial coin offerings, promising to fundamentally change the way businesses, consumers, and societies transact via novel decentralized applications.
Still, in mid-September Dimon doubled down on his claim, calling bitcoin a “fraud” and saying that it would “blow up.”
So, what’s going on here?
We’ll take a data-driven dive into bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, ICOs, enterprise blockchains, and a host of other related topics as we explore this fascinating space.
Specifically, we’ll aim to:
- Understand blockchain’s potential and current value proposition
- Explore enterprise blockchain development, and parse their respective roadmaps
- Dissect state regulatory environments regarding initial coin offerings, cryptocurrency exchanges, and government-sponsored blockchain projects
- Explore token valuation methodology for tokens and offer predictions around blockchain startup trends
