> How's that working out for you?

It's a slow process, for exactly the reasons you describe- in fact, I've quoted that exact same line of reasoning many times myself.

The reason to work in this area regardless is because there are definitely large opportunities long term.




That's interesting, and refreshing honesty :) thanks

If you don't mind me being more nosy, are the long-term opportunities in this exact line of business? (i.e. do you think that one day medical records will be routinely stored on a blockchain?) or is it more than developing skills and capability with both blockchain and health tech will be valuable in the future?


Tracking employee identities in The medical space should be done in a much more rigorous fashion, there are significant benefits in doing this on a public blockchain. Medical records MAY someday end up on a blockchain, but the benefits of this are more hazy and may never outweigh the switching costs.


Maybe it could be used to track the certification process for pharmaceuticals or medical software?
