In order for the blockchain industry to expand and for the blockchain revolution to have a real chance, big companies need to start employing enthusiastic individuals.

This is big news for the blockchain industry. With huge mainstream companies now fully branching into blockchain operations, the industry is going to see an acceleration. By supporting this acceleration with research and of course, the backing of large scale companies, the technology is going to become mainstream. Between Mastercard, Deloitte and PwC, there’s really no stopping it.
