Four months have now passed since the publication of CoinDesk’s blockchain editorials and we are up to nine blockchain articles in our blockchain issue countdown. This includes The Coming Crypto Revolution: The Coming Blockchain Revolution and Blockchain Is Here, where we outline our roadmap for developing blockchain and cryptocurrency news and analysis.

It’s been a slow process but the articles we publish today represent the culmination of the work we have been working on for over two years. We are so proud of our team for our willingness to grow in our coverage of the blockchain industry and to give readers the best news coverage we can.

Whether you are a long-time investor in cryptocurrencies or are just getting started, there’s so much news to learn, so many new ideas to discover, and so many opportunities to get involved.

We invite you to join us on the road of discovery for the blockchain industry.

UPDATE: One final thought.

In terms of blockchain news, last year was simply a transition period. It’s now almost a year later. Blockchain is becoming more mainstream and we hope the following articles demonstrate the power and impact of blockchain journalism.

The Future of Blockchain For Journalists

Blockchain investment

The recent trend of cryptocurrency startups investing huge amounts of money in startup projects is a trend we’re excited to see. The blockchain is here to stay, but many founders still believe that blockchain is an investment, rather than a solution to a problem.

It’s a natural progression for entrepreneurs who’ve created a strong business in their blockchain platform, or for investors who’ve invested money in a blockchain-related startup, to turn that into a business. That’s where blockchain startups, the most innovative and progressive of the industry, can develop and improve upon their solutions for the blockchain industry.

In the future, blockchain-related startups will always invest in ways that will benefit blockchain technology.

Blockchain Investment

In the previous post, I mentioned that blockchain investment in this industry will be dominated by blockchain-related startups. I believe that blockchain-related startups are more likely to engage in blockchain investment rather than blockchain-related projects.

If we are speaking about a blockchain project based on bitcoin, such as the bitcoin exchange Coinbase or the bitcoin wallet Blockchain, that is likely to rely on the bitcoin network for its operations, it will not be a great choice to invest in a bitcoin startup. Blockchain startups often use alternative blockchain protocols such as Bitcoin’s, Eris, Ethereum, Ripple, Stellar, HyperLedger or various proof-of-stake blockchain platforms such as BitShares or Tether.

Because of this, we can expect that some blockchain projects will focus on the blockchain as a solution for a blockchain-related problem rather than as an investment strategy. This is an exciting change for investors and blockchain enthusiasts.

But why should investors invest in blockchain startups instead of blockchain-related projects?

Bitcoin as an investment strategy is coming to an end. Bitcoin is used mostly for investing and trading in the cryptocurrency market rather than for everyday use. More and more, we are witnessing the rise of the blockchain as a solution to a blockchain-related problem, such as the blockchain-related project Chain.

Conclusion

Investing in blockchain projects is becoming more common. The development of blockchain technology is moving faster and faster. That’s why it’s increasingly attractive for blockchain-related startups to focus on investment. As we’ve seen, the blockchain, the technology behind blockchain-related startups, can be a very strong investment for investors.

Blockchain Platform

Unlike bitcoin-related startups, blockchain-related startups are most likely to have an investor in their company. That investor is almost always the company’s CEO, founder or company founder.

It’s important for blockchain journalists to know the blockchain industry and blockchain startups. It’s important for the blockchain industry to build an ecosystem where blockchain companies build on the technology of the blockchain rather than have the technology built by blockchain startups.

In the blockchain world, having a blockchain company as an investor can be viewed as a positive development for the blockchain industry. That’s because this means that blockchain startups, the innovative, exciting and progressive of this industry, can take the business environment and turn it into a business. That is what we are seeing right now and that is what blockchain investors want to see in the future of this industry.

Cointelegraph would like to acknowledge the support from Blockchain Kingdom and Digital Currency Exchange for providing us with an initial look at some of the blockchain investment opportunities that can be found in the blockchain-related sector.

Also, Bitcoin-related startups often have investments from other blockchain companies. For example, Blockstream and OpenBazaar have investments from Bitfury, CoinFund and Matrix Holdings. I also noticed that Xapo’s CEO was previously involved in Ripple’s development. However, the Xapo executive team has been involved in blockchain startups only over the last year.
