#Bitcoin Q&A: Mass adoption & peer-to-peer commerce


When are we going to see mass adoption of open blockchains, especially by "big sellers" and merchant services like Amazon? A system of closed, centralised, weaponised poltical control vs. open source, localised / peer-to-peer commerce. Will the user experience improve?

This question is from a talk which took place on May 18th 2018 for the WeAreDevelopers World Congress at Austria Center Vienna in Vienna, Austria:
