With Bitcoin increasingly getting support and the smart money finally getting in and bringing some stability to the market, many altcoins stand to benefit from it.

Many people are still stuck on the blockchain’s effect on banking, but still don’t realize how much a revolutionary technology it is. The ability of the blockchain to make whole networks almost impenetrable and unalterable could be carried out in tons of other industries.
