Bitcoin and blockchain will turn 10 in 2018. However, when my gym instructor asked me the other day whether I was trading bitcoin, it hit me: Bitcoin was mainstream in India! That also set me thinking what its 10th birth-year would be like for bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies, and more importantly, for their conjoined twin-mother: the blockchain. We will see blockchain use cases across human resources, legal, government, luxury goods, auto, and multiple other non-finance sectors. Governments will invest in blockchain: While governments will continue to be chary of crypto-currencies, they will muscle into blockchain in 2018.
