Does anyone really understand the blockchain’s distributed ledger system or the digital mechanisms of cryptocurrency? Even entrepreneurs knee-deep in technology’s latest emerging markets will confess they are still learning. Perhaps the potential for modern cryptography is best shown and not told. The pros and cons of crypto are beginning to come through as business and social use cases surface in the real world. When Toni Lane (pictured), co-founder of CoinTelegraph and foun...der of Cultu.re, first waded into bitcoin, very few people she spoke with grokked its disruptive powers. Now, she favors demonstrations over conversations. People are not actually going to get it until it’s useful to them, Lane said. Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are complex technologies that will have to be outfitted with a complete-idiot’s interface in order to break the mainstream, she added. https://siliconangle.com//blockchain-needs-idiot-proof-in/
