in the kali gold rush, the easy big money was made by the stuff providers, like the levi's jeans guy, the tool makers and distributors, and the pan people. blockchain is an energy pig 'The Bank for International Settlements has criticized the public proof-of-work blockchains for high energy consumption.' my two cents sez find the public companies in electricity supply manufacturing (or just build a 'better mousetrap' yourself!) cuz, you know, blockchain is an energy pig. I like those youtubes where some village in Siberia doesn't need heat anymore, and when hungry, they just huck a chicken or cow or whale in the room and voilà - dinner!now, as to blockchain's theoretical security, im calling BS. stick a 'hard fork' in that mumbledypants hokum. rt's max keiser (we call him 'keester' lol) is a complete looneytune, along with his dingbat sidekick, stacy ('spacey'). and they're just a public face for things blockchainus hypus, the private ones are even funnier.
It really depends on the consensus mechanism used. There are several blockchains that use proof of stake instead of proof of wotk, which means very low energy consumption.
Decentralized Blockchains are supposed to be transparent and not private. Permissioned chains are "private", but not centralized.
Blockchain is going to disrupt a lot of business sectors.
