Blockchain and Its Real World Importance
Distributed ledger and blockchain technology have the potential to transform industries and solve some of the world’s most critical challenges. Blockchain is a peer-to-peer, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way. It is the underlying technology to cryptocurrency, and has many other possible uses.
Blockchain technology can be programmed to record not just financial transactions, but nearly anything that holds value and can be expressed in code: births, deaths, marriage licenses, property deeds, medical procedures, insurance claims, votes, the possibilities are truly limitless. Blockchain technology enables a “shared truth” and “I see what you see” perspective which provides transparency, synchronization, and ultimately trust.
