January 11, 2019 -- ADVFN Crypto NewsWire -- Yesterday,
Bloomberg announced that a partnership between The New York City
Economic Development Corporation, FuturePerfect Ventures, and the
Global Blockchain Business Counsel has yielded something that may
truly move us closer to the fabled era of widespread adoption of
blockchain technologies. In short, because of these organizations,
New York City will now have a blockchain education center, where
anyone can go to learn to code on the blockchain or simply learn
about how the blockchain and its’ related technologies could change
our lives for the better.
According to CoinDesk’s article
today on the subject, in an apparent vote of confidence toward the
importance of the effort, the New York City government has also
personally contributed $100,000 to the center’s development. They
also mention that even Microsoft and IBM have given some of their
resources to the center.
As the center plans to host
lectures related to all things blockchain, we, as blockchain
insiders can only hope that this includes adequate marketing to get
the public interested in these topics. Both CoinDesk and
Bloomberg’s articles do not mention whether this will be the case
at this point. Since the blockchain has been spreading across New
York City since about 2013, and has still remained a niche
technology, any marketing that the center does will arguably be
doubly important.
Though, as suggested above, neither
article makes any sort of clear conclusion on this, a good place to
start might be to go back to the basics.
In other words, what makes Bitcoin
special? Why should the average person choose it above their
trusted fiat currencies? If the center and the greater blockchain
community can answer these questions in a way that anyone can
understand, then the sky is the limit.
If not, then we all need to go back
to the drawing board before building more multi-million dollar
projects.
