Title:

The Blockchain Explained


Date:

Saturday, June 4th 2022

Domain:

BUSINESS

Life lesson:

The blockchain technology is being used by institutions NOW.


Core idea:

I want to explain how blockchain works so one can make sense of its implied economic benefits.



Fact #1:

HIGH RELIANCE ON TRUST


Our current system relies on high levels of trust.


Because of this lack of trust we have created a monetary system that needs verification in every corner.



Fact #2:

TRANPARENCY FACILITATES TRUST


Blockchain technology provides a framework that adds transparency in the digital age.


A system of hash tags creates an open network of information that can be accessed by anyone on demand



Fact #3:

BLOCKCHAINS ARE CUSTOMIZABLE


Blockchains can be public or private



Think of the email system. You have your user name and password to log in (private key) and your email address is your (public key)



Fact #4:

JP MORGAN HAS THEIR OWN DIGITAL COIN


JP Morgan created their own digital coin it's called the JPM coin


The JPM coin has to abide by certain standards to comply with regulations. I feel the lack of coordinated regulation is what is holding back blockchain technology from broad adoption.
