I'm currently exploring and looking for real world problems that blockchain can solve and use that as my source of inspiration for startup ideas.
The systems in the privileged western world already in place work so well (especially in Switzerland) that it almost looks like we don't really need something better, but go to other parts of the world and you'll see that things are not so good for other people. Especially the unbanked and the undocumented. I expect that my experience in Asia will provide me with the necessary insight to come up with something useful.
I know virtually nobody at Google who are of the same opinion, so it's a bit refreshing to see other people who share my inside Google views.
