Blockchain may completely revolutionize how we run our world in the future. Because in a world that is filled with digital dangers, nothing is more important than safety. The introduction of cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin, has brought the concept of blockchain technology into the mainstream. Blockchain is a continuously growing, distributed database that protects against tampering and revision of data. Though the Bitcoin did not completely disrupt the world market, the technology behind it has the potential to do so.
Currently, blockchain is also being used to solve other problems, not just cryptocurrencies. While Nasdaq OMX is testing the technology for stock trading, the e-retail giant Overstock has released its digital bonds using blockchain. The blockchain is not just limited to the financial system; instead, it is a great solution for almost any platform or product that requires trust - from a simple keyless automobile entry authentication to tamperproof electronic voting machines and several others. In short, the idea behind blockchain is to be able to establish and verify trust without the need of a centralized system. Blockchain technology offers a lot of potentially disruptive power and companies are already in the race for different product offerings. As the industry continues to evolve, blockchain stands out as the best investment for future returns.
