You so often hear people comparing blockchain to internet back in the late 90' and early 2000's.

Why was internet so dominant at that time and why did the internet technology created the most profitable companies on the planet(Alphabet, facebook, amazon, microsoft...)?
I will talk about those factors in a bit (the factors overlap with blockchain/cryptocurrency) but what I wanted to stress out is the fact that investors often discuss which industry to choose.


If you're looking to invest in something or if you're looking to start a business which yields most profits, first you must find out if you're in the right industry.

In today's world there are a few cutting edge new emerging industries that are talked about that could make the big impact.
BIG impact yes, but can they make you big profits. Of course every industry can, but which one can make you the most profits, like internet did back in the day.
Is it electric cars, solar energy, Robotics, 3d printing... etc.



It's blockchain/cryptocurrency and here is why...


There are a few factors which need to be accounted for to calculate whether the industry or business will be the top emerging industry of that time.

Internet had this:
1) Income not dependent on time
Is your income/earnings from Product/Service dependent on time? Can you earn money when you sleep or without working yourself?

2) Win-Win Situation
Is your Product/Service a win situation for you, your customers and your investors/supporters?

3) Global
Is your Product/Serivice global/internet based so that you can influence the whole world with it?

4) Automatization
Is it possible to automatize the selling/using/support of Product/Service without a lot of staff engagement?

5) 24/7 – 365
Is it possible to sell/use your Product/Service every single day/hour, no matter which holiday or festival it is?

6) Science support
Do you need a lot of technical expertise and science support in order to offer your Product/Service to the market? (for business starters without a lot of money)

7) Outside influence
Does government (or law) have too much influence on your Product/Service with little control by your side?


These parameters make the base of a good business. Notice how both internet and blockchain/cryptocurrency satisfy those same parameters.


And here is the kicker. These 2 parameters create a legendary business.

8 ) Network effects
Can your Product/Service offer a referral/recommendation program for users to make a better awareness themselves without investing in marketing later?

9 ) Dopamin
Does the business have something which drives people to be occupied with it?


If you compare all other emerging industries you will notice that they lack certain parameters.

-Electric cars: missing number 9 and somewhat number 7. It's a physical product, no matter how hard or fast you work, how much you automate it it will still take a lot more time to produce.
-Solar Energy: same as previous. It's a physical product, you can only do so much with it.
-Robotics: same as previous two.
-3D printer: same as previous three.

All of those are missing a parameter or two.


But BLOKCHAIN/CRYPTOCURRENCY actually satisfies all of those parameters and has an additional parameter that makes it truly the industry you want to be in.

It's connected to payments and has a speculative nature. People love gambling and money.

Not only does the industry satisfies all the successful business parameters it also satisfies human need/greed as well.
