Applications of Blockchain Technology

Ron Quaranta, Chairman of Wall Street Blockchain Alliance, participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Applications of Blockchain Technology. Applications of Blockchain Technology The deep-rooted rigid boundaries of nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) seems to be tumbling as digitization is re-writing the rules of competition and collaboration. With the tumbling of boundaries, digital disruption is on its way to reshaping the global systems faster than perhaps any force in the entire human history. This is mainly due to advances in technologies like blockchain. The promise and potential of blockchain technology seem to have energized individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA). The simple reason behind this is perhaps because blockchain technology shows us how to effectively transition to a digital global age. As the blockchain technology re-defines and re-configures the global NGIOA infrastructure and systems across cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS), it is beginning to envisage how the global systems of a digital global age would look in the coming years. When entities across NGIOA acknowledge blockchain technology as one of the most disruptive innovations since the dawn of the internet, it is important to understand and evaluate what kind of transformation is imminent as blockchain technology begins to get tested, developed, and applied extensively across nations. There is no doubt that blockchain is revolutionary and will upset the very fiber of the systems and services across NGIOA. While blockchain provides its own distributed, transparent record-keeping leverages real-time trust among the participants, and balances the information flow between senders and receivers, it fundamentally reduces the need for intermediaries because of its shared and trusted environment. However, blockchain needs collaboration to succeed and since collaboration and cooperation are not in the very fabric of nations, how will that be overcome? While blockchains are causing a technology revolution, it is important to understand and evaluate what else is necessary to transition to a digital global age.
