We have been listening to a lot about Blockchain and Bitcoin. Despite the technology claiming to be the next big thing, many people still associate it with Bitcoins and other cryptocurrency. It’s a fact that Blockchain came into limelight only after Bitcoin. Although, initially Blockchain was initially considered to be known for cryptocurrency transaction, later, its multitude of features made it beneficial for various other fields.

But, the fact of the matter is that there are various others ways in investing in Blockchain without investing in Bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies.  In this blog, I will be focusing on different other forms of investment in the Blockchain.
