Preface
Welcome to Commercializing Blockchain: Strategic Applications in the Real World. I became part of the Blockchain world in 2016 and I have been obsessed with this exciting new world ever since.
Imagine a world where the data that we produce on a daily, if not hourly, basis is ‘owned’ by us – it is our data and we choose what it is used for and where it is transferred….
Imagine a world where you can ‘scan’ my shirt and it will tell you the cotton plant it started from, the cotton mill where the cotton was spun, the shirt factory where it was sewn together, and the journey it took to my wardrobe….
Imagine a world where you ‘scan’ a bottle of champagne, and it shows a beautiful video of where the grapes were picked, how they were harvested, how the champagne was fermented, and how the bottle was rested over its lifetime….
Imagine buying your forever home and being able to fully track all the previous owners, the changes made and the records of all alterations made during its hundred year life….
Imagine no more – these are all real possibilities for Blockchain technology to fundamentally transform our lives.
This ground-breaking technology will allow us to own more of our data, see more transparently than ever before and trust more in our governments and businesses.
We are at the beginning of the next revolution, where Blockchain technology will lead the world into new and exciting opportunities, with the key values baked into the heart of the Blockchain technology:
