Enigma's Guy Zyskind: 'I'm Pro-Whatever Kind of Blockchain Fits Decentralization Ideals'

Cointelegraph recently spoke to Guy Zyskind, the founder and CEO of decentralized blockchain company Enigma and graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, about the future of blockchain protocols and where Enigma fits in.

During TechCrunch's recent Ethereum Meetup in Zug, Switzerland, Zyskind elaborated on his successful experience teaching a blockchain course at MIT, as well as his regrets over missing out getting into crypto way back in 2010.

Molly Jane: First off, could you explain what the Enigma protocol is and how you originally ended up in the blockchain world?

My background is that I was born and raised in Israel, moved five years ago the States and went to grad school at MIT. That's really where I got interested in blockchain and the intersection of privacy.

I'm very much pro-Ethereum, pro-whatever blockchain that can fit those kind of ideals.

MJ: Could you explain in layman's terms the difference between the Ethereum blockchain and the Bitcoin blockchain?

MJ: I've read that you taught a course on blockchain at MIT. Can you tell me how that went over?

One of the projects actually became a paper of its own and the first project of the DCI, which, I believe, was about blockchain in the medical industry.

Blockchain at MIT has really evolved in those spheres, which is amazing.

MJ: In the future, 10 years down the line, which blockchain protocols do you think will be left standing?
