There are just loads of uses and possibilities for blockchain. I had started looking into coding for Bitcoin to use unused cycles on z/OS to make money. But then migrated over to blockchain as a concept to act as a proof or record history. I was pondering single user record concept that would always stay with you. Single source of identification. Of course then there are stories of people losing bitcoins never to recover them... It might make for a bad lost password concept...but It is really exciting stuff.
