Why hasn’t Big Tech adopted crypto in a Big Way?

When computers, the Internet or email first emerged, the value they presented was self-evident.

This is why the growth of these technologies was exponential.

A modern example would be Artificial Intelligence and ML, the value and practical applications – self-driving, machine translation, robotics and so forth are easy to see and understand.

As such, AI and ML is every day more and more integrated into our daily lives.

Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, Nvidia, Samsung, Intel….

I cannot think of a single meaningful Blockchain project from any of these companies. Which is not a little side project for pleasing the teenage son of a big shareholder.

If Ethereum is the world computer, then why aren’t any of the tech giants using it?

I personally believe the only self evident value of blockchain is a decentralised, permissionless payment gateway. And Bitcoin already does this, and has done for a while – it’s success is debatable.

People also like to say that it’s “early days”, but we can say objectively that’s not true. I think only reason people say this is due to the failure of crypto tech to scale beyond it’s very early or initial concept (Bitcoin/payments).

I think someone said; if all the blockchains in the world disappeared overnight, would anyone care (beyond bagholders)?
