Things weren't very scalable (dial up modems), you had to be somewhat technical to figure out how to get online, and early websites were pretty basic (static sites, looked like toys). Sound familiar to crypto at all??\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He further goes on to explain that slow internet speeds and early dial up models are similar to the current scaling problems that many blockchains are currently facing.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Armstrong: These are the four factors that will mark the best blockchain<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Furthermore, Armstrong later goes on to identify what he sees as the four main development problems that the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/why-2020-is-an-important-year-for-cryptocurrency-exchange-regulation\/\">crypto industry<\/a> is currently facing, referencing problems relating to scalability, privacy, decentralized identity, and developer tools.<\/p>\n<p>He notes that he believes the first blockchain to \u201cship\u201d solutions to these problems will be the one that helps usher in billions of users to the crypto industry.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn conclusion: I think it's still very much up in the air which blockchain will help get crypto from ~50M users to 5B. The chain that manages to ship some of these scalability, privacy, decentralized identity, and developer tool solutions will have a big leg up.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Currently, there are a plethora of different platforms all vying to garner widespread adoption, but both retail and institutional investors alike all seem to currently think that BTC will ultimately win this competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are currently thousands of cryptocurrencies all vying for adoption on multiple different fronts, with many being viewed as scams and fundraising schemes, while others cryptos with legitimate use cases struggle to garner any significant support.
