Andreas Antonopoulos: Blockchain Tech Cannot Be Uninvented or Stopped

Reas Antonopoulos is a well-known bitcoin educator and crypto commentator, as well as a security and decentralized systems expert.

In a recent interview, Cointelegraph spoke with Antonopoulos on what he believes is the future of blockchain's social impact, what's going on with the current crypto market volatility, and what is still missing in the crypto space.

MZ: What are concrete developments that you feel the Bitcoin blockchain needs in order to be more widely adopted?

The open blockchain space in general needs more design and creative people, not more software engineers.

MZ: What, in your opinion, went wrong and what went well in the blockchain and crypto industry in the last year? Do you think we are closer to blockchain adoption now than we were a year ago?

Every blockchain will face these issues, despite claims to the contrary.

All blockchains will face those challenges once they become big enough to matter.

MZ: What is the social impact you personally expect from blockchain technology in the years to come?

Open public blockchains will provide those, even against the extreme discomfort, opposition and interference of nation states and corporations.

The world needs this too much and the technology itself cannot be un-invented or stopped.
