Blockchain Investments?
How to invest in a blockchain?
This issue is up to date and is set by many people. In the blockchain world, there are countless possibilities of investing, from investing in protocols, platforms and applications or services.

But in reality, most people don't exactly understand this, and it requires first of all the understanding of the Internet as a technology, and later, in the second plan, is understanding of the blockchain and the possibilities it opens.

So, if we go in line, investing in protocols in this sense, means an investment in "plumbing pipes", "electric cables" and the foundation on which the applications and services by blockchain are built.
In the world of the Internet, most people do not even care about the protocols, or they don't know much about these matters. The protocols are invisible, including TCP/IP or Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol. They were developed and financially supported by the US government (DARPA).
In fact, it was not possible to invest in protocols, but only later in applications and services built like, for example, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
In the blockchain world, the development of protocols has just started, and direct investments into their development are possible. Can you imagine that you own the "electric cables" on which Twitter and Facebook are built?
At this level, you can directly invest in the development of protocols with cryptocurrencies and tokens. Bitcoin is the most widespread, with the most promising Ethereum, and, of course, Steem.

If I continue to the platform level, here are the greatest options for developing Smart Contracts on the Ethereum and SMT's (Smart Media Token) on Steem blockchain, which can be compared to the "operating systems" of the new blockchain economy.
Only at the level of applications and services are investments similar to conventional markets, where investors focus on those services that use blockchain for improving classical approaches or act as a disruption.
