Hi Erick, Thanks for sharing, I agree with your sentiments. Blockchain use is limitless, through technology we a great amount of data that needs to be organised in a way that will make services more accessible for various users. Blockchain seems to be the only technology that we have so far that will enable a centralized ledger of information which has previously been extremely siloed, in both industry and even government.

Blockchain as a Service will be closely linked with cloud infrastructure providers.
There will be three type of BaaS
1) Public clouds - such as: Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud
2) Private clouds - mainly led by: IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, HPE, Fujitsu, NTT, Telcos'
3) Hybrid - where converge infrastructure will combine all influence and trends (public + priviate) it will be a plug-in to new types of software defined driven datacenter centers such VMWare and others.

It's very likely large network players in tech like Cisco will join the race - combining BaaS infrastructure with IoT and Cloud. It's also highly likely that chip design with reflect Fintech trends mainly blockchain acceleration this cohort will be led by Intel.
Other remarkable shift will happen in the security space where blockchain will power together with new digital ID and surveillance, many military and policing AI driven solutions that will predicting crimes and terrorism.
Impact on banking and all money transactions will be massive as AML, KYC and other procedures will me more and become shared application rather than, as today, set of processes developed individiually by each bank and institution So yesterday In the closing ceremony the Japanese gave us a glimpse of what the Olympics will be like in 2020 dubbed the most innovative ever and this will primarily be driven by AI. All their stadia designs, infrastructure solutions are crowd sourced and we will see the start-up scene exploding in Japan, probably the steroids it has needed for so long to jump start the economy.
Time start-ups to think about Trust as a service as a bedrock of optimizing blockchain.
