Zage Marketing Group, the blockchain arm of Web profits released a report that interviews 102 blockchain leaders for their insights into the use of blockchain both now and into the future

In the forward by Co-Founder   Alex Cleanthous, he states, “ When the Internet first launched in the early 1990s,  nobody could truly have envisaged the impact it would have on society, and the reach it would have globally. Blockchain is now where the Internet was in the early 1990s – some people can see its potential, most people don’t understand it, and the people who do are putting everything into being part of the next evolution of society.”

He adds that they created this report to move the conversation away from the hype that defined the industry throughout 2017, to now focus on how blockchain is currently being used, where it will be heading in the future, and which projects are already making an impact.

The report interviewed leaders from  cryptocurrencies, blockchain projects, crypto exchanges, hedge funds and investment funds.
