Google asserts that it wants to disrupt itself in order to fulfill the requirements of the bitcoin community. The industry giant in search argues that it is trying to innovate rather than promote what it already gives to businesses rather than advertise what it already provides.
Is it possible for us to include other products in that suite that cater exclusively to the requirements of the cryptocurrency community and possibly the needs of enterprises in the future? In this week’s episode of The Scoop podcast, hosted by Frank Chaparro, James Tromans, head of Google Cloud Platform for web3, discussed the company’s perspectives on the subject with Frank. Paris Blockchain Week took place this week. But, in terms of where people are building right now, it’s kind of on the cutting edge of things.
Tromans commented that although there is still a significant amount of work to be done, there are a great number of prospects.
The company introduced Google Cloud’s Blockchain Node Engine the year before and announced a cloud partnership with Coinbase to provide web3 developers with assistance in developing and delivering new products on blockchain-based platforms.
“Google was interested in studying what it means to accept cryptocurrency as payment and maintaining our commitment to not just providing these technologies but really using them ourselves as well,” said Tromans. “We are committed to not just providing these technologies but really using them ourselves as well.” The relationship was quite intricate, and we are excited to continue our collaboration with Coinbase in order to further enhance it.
Frank Chaparro’s conversation with Google’s Tromans and Rich Widmann, head of strategy for web3 and Google Cloud, will be expanded upon in the upcoming episode of The Scoop podcast, which will be broadcast on Saturday at 5:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).
