The first Blockchain system-Bitcoin-saw astronomical returns of over 1,300 percent in 2017. As we progressed through 2017, Blockchain technologies became hard to ignore and more of the corporate world took an interest in Blockchain technologies.

One of the leading thinkers who co-founded NEO (at the time it was called Antshares) is attempting to do just that.
