Apr 13, 2024
Blockstream enabled me to have my Bitcoin ventures in a secure environment, but the usage of separate applications makes my work without a coordinated one. Their emphasis on the safety net is one to be applauded, but what would be missing is the integration of platforms, necessary for easy business transactions.

Blockstream Likes & Dislikes

Like

Blockstream is best for blockchain and bitcoin technology

Like

Blockstream provided me with the highest level of tools in the form of a well equipped set of tools for entrepreneurs teaming up with Bitcoin. Liquid's sidechain technology, which enabled fast transactions with enough level of confidentiality to be perfectly used in internal settlements of companies, was another technical aspect of Bitcoin, which I admired the most. This is the reason why I have all the confidence in the world in blockchain technology.

Dislike

Actually I have no negative comments to come with, but when the server gets down you will have to face little difficulties

Dislike

Blockstream's functionality feels compartmentalized. Integrating Liquid with current corporate systems complexities. My competitors', however, remain fast since they don't add any tasks to integrate with their software. They may lose a user if they requires another app that the consumer has to deal with which would put an additional layer of complexity in it.
