Myself a computer science student, I see my future in blockchain, because of its wide range of applications. Blockchain is going to rule the world. Different countries have already started adopting blockchain for different sectors so as to eradicate the corruption.
The best thing about blockchain is the transparency it provides. Everyone will have the access to every piece of information in a transaction, since the data is decentralised and stored in blocks. And manipulation of data is nearly impossible, since they will have to manipulate the whole blockchain to do it.
It is happy to that banks in my country has already started choosing blockchain. Hospitals are going to start using them. So as I said earlier, I see my career in blockchain.
And another thing that made my mind blown is the fact that the power consumption by the bitcoin miners is more than power consumed by 150 countries around the world.

Wow I am mindblown by the fact the bank in your country started choosing blockchain technology. I don't think the bank would go hand in hand with transparency. That also means it's still not decentralized by the fact that the bank will still be a medium. I would like to read further on your claim that your bank has started choosing blockchain technology. Would you mind direct me to any source?
