Marc Andreessen seems to be a big fan of blockchain technology. He was invited by Bloomberg to share some useful insight about cryptocurrencies investment options. He explained that the main reason Bitcoin is a revolutionary technology is that it offers a basic framework for the new technological development in the finance sector. He claimed with blockchain, it is possible to convert a trust-less industry of finance into a more trusty industry.
He pointed out that Satoshi Nakamoto has done a great job by keeping his identity hidden after all this time. According to him, for a person involved in the IT industry, it is not an easy task to maintain it for such a long time without having great skills.
