Currently the technology market around the so called “blockchain technology” has reached a new hype-cycle high. New platforms, cryptocurrencies, token sales and “innovative products” make it into the media every other week. During the last twelve month several products evolved on the blockchain market. Some of those products are based on smart contracts, some of those products are platforms with underlying cryptocurrencies. There are token sales as well as new protocols that will disrupt the market. Many people jumped on the hype train and invested into some of those platforms, currencies and products – often without actually knowing what is really behind and what risks are to bare.
In this talk we present a handful of platforms, protocols and business models currently available. Through the talk you get an introduction into the technology and an insight into the blockchain platform universe. We will discuss the possibilities of investing into certain products and take a look at current and future risks that come with such investments. The talk focuses on public ledgers and products building on them.
