I have come to the end of a short series about the Blockchain. I wanted to:
- Explore the Blockchain in 2016
- Call out some key applications, use cases and companies to watch in this space
- Give every day motivations for it in everyday language
Scratching the surface
I was very enthusiastic when I first heard about Bitcoin, but I have to admit the Blockchain never really excited me until I started this series of posts. It has applications from ranging from Banking to Identity. There is so much I have not covered I feel like I only begun to scratch the surface. I thought I had gotten to the end but the Blockchain and its applications keep growing and growing :)
Conclusion
2017 is going to be a big year for Blockchain. I hope these posts have given some inspiration and help people to think of new possibilities for this revolutionary piece of engineering.
Personally I will explore next how it can be used for more transparency and fund raising for the NGO sector.
