Cryptocurrency is a lot more than FinThech. KFC Venezuela Accepts Dash Cryptocurrency, Joining Subwa

"Cryptocurrency and blockchain?! Oh just passing fads! a Bubble! It will never happen" Cryptocurrency and blockchain? maybe in Fintech as a very narrow solution.

How Blockchain Can Help Marketers Build Better Relationships with Their Customers

Blockchain has important implications for marketing and advertising. But according to The CMO Survey, only 8% of firms rate the use of blockchain in marketing as moderately or very important. Blockchain technology is not well understood and subject to a lot of hype. This combination creates a natural barrier to entry and has likely caused marketers to take a “wait and see” approach. However, there are many reasons to invest the time now to understand the technology and begin

The Blockchain Will Do to the Financial System What the Internet Did to Media

Even years into the deployment of the internet, many believed that it was still a fad. Of course, the internet has since become a major influence on our lives, from how we buy goods and services, to the ways we socialize with friends, to the Arab Spring, to the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Yet, in the 1990s, the mainstream press scoffed when Nicholas Negroponte predicted that most of us would soon be reading our news online rather than from a newspaper. Fast forward two d

Blockchain Could Help Us Reclaim Control of Our Personal Data

It’s a strange world we live in when large companies such as Facebook, Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion are able to store huge quantities of our personal data and profit from it in a way that doesn’t always benefit us. And when those same companies lose our personal data and make us susceptible to identity theft, there’s virtually nothing we can do about it. Avoiding to utilise the infamous Facebook privacy case (which actually shouldn't really surprise anyone who subscribed

What Blockchain Could Mean for Marketing and Advertising

Companies are collecting more data than ever before, and are making significant business decisions based on it. If you are familiar with big data, you know it, if not I'm telling you now: when you talk about big data you talk about 4 Vs ( Volume, Velocity, Variety, and Veracity).

Blockchain Could Make the Insurance Industry Much More Transparent

While Edward Lloyd is largely credited with commercializing the insurance industry, with the creation of his namesake firm, Lloyd’s, over 330 years ago, the original concept of spreading risk (or “mutualizing”) goes back even further. Hundreds of years before Lloyd’s was formed, Chinese merchants would spread their valuable cargo across multiple vessels, with each one carrying an equal share of another merchant’s goods.

The Promise of Blockchain Is a World Without Middlemen

The #blockchain is a revolution that builds on another technical revolution so old that only the more experienced among us remember it: the invention of the database. First created at IBM in 1970, the importance of these relational databases to our everyday lives today cannot be overstated. Literally every aspect of our civilization is now dependent on this abstraction for storing and retrieving data. And now the blockchain is about to revolutionize databases, which will in t
