“There's going to be a lot of different blockchains. Like there'll be a blockchain for transferring identity. There will be a blockchain for secure medical information.”

The claim, plainly

There will be many specialized blockchains, including dedicated blockchains for identity transfer and secure medical information.

Assessment

Tom Kineshanko predicted in August 2017 that there would be specialized blockchains, specifically citing blockchains for identity transfer and secure medical information. Both branches of this prediction materialized following the claim date. For identity transfer, dedicated blockchains such as the Sovrin Network launched in September 2017 and operated for multiple years with dozens of validator stewards, alongside later networks like KILT Protocol and cheqd (both launched in 2021). For secure medical information, dedicated platforms launched and operated mainnets, including MediBloc's Panacea network (launched 2018–2019 and active through 2026), BurstIQ's BurstChain (2018), and Medicalchain (2018).

Sovrin Network launched its dedicated identity blockchain in September 2017, expanding writing permissions widely in March 2019 and operating validator nodes internationally through early 2025.
MediBloc launched its dedicated healthcare blockchain mainnet, Panacea, in 2018–2019 for health data verification and electronic medical record management, operating integrations such as Medipass (2019) and Dr.Palette (2020).
BurstIQ deployed BurstChain specifically for personal health record and consent management in 2018, and KILT Protocol launched a dedicated credential/identity blockchain in 2021.

Kineshanko: Blockchain activity can be traced to identify specific users

“Well, you can actually track activity on the blockchain quite nicely because it's all open source. So it's a bit tricky to figure out who's doing what, because people can have, you know, you or I could create wallets, numerous wallets and do stuff with those.…”

Insight

Kineshanko says crypto tokens act as liquid venture capital, not traditional equity
