Disruption Analysis
Thanks to bitcoin, the tides of business are changing in several key sectors. Some applications of the technology, like payment processing, are intuitive, though some of the far-reaching implications even here take some work to understand. In other sectors, bitcoin and the blockchain technology behind it are affecting the playing field in ways that are difficult to understand without sophisticated technical and in some cases sociological knowledge.
Businesses that historically have not been affected by consumer-facing technology are now facing disruption. Those that understand how their model may be affected by distributed trust networks will be the best placed to succeed in the coming decades.
Inquire to learn how Alconet’s research team can produce a comprehensive disruption analysis that will help you to plan for the challenges and opportunities presented by bitcoin and its underpinning technology.
Market Research
The bitcoin community follows normal market trends, but these trends can be difficult to see without an in-depth understanding of the context that informs each new product or service. Without this essential information, even a well-made product can fail to gain that crucial initial traction.
The market for bitcoin products and services can be extremely lucrative for entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs alike who approach the task with due diligence. Bitcoin users are on average more affluent than the general population, and many of them are dedicated to spending money within the bitcoin community for personal or ideological reasons. Users also tend to be early adopters of new technologies and are willing to evangelize for the products and services that they find useful.
At Alconet, we have our finger on the pulse of the local and global bitcoin communities. We can help you by providing detailed research into the market viability of a product or service that you are planning to offer, including detailed plans and support for implementing our suggestions.
In-House Collaboration
More established companies sometimes prefer to bring us in-house to work with their existing team in a collaborative fashion. We’re team players, and our detailed knowledge helps us to bring a lot to the table.
An Alconet consultant can serve as a knowledge resource for your team, explaining the ins and outs of blockchain technology and bitcoin trends. When it comes time to walk the walk, our team member won’t shy away rolling up his or her sleeves and diving into serious research. An Alconet consultant may be able to propose novel solutions to problems that regular members of your team don’t see or leverage connections within the bitcoin community to uncover unique insights.
