Blockchain

Don and Alex Tapscott , authors of Blockchain Revolution , describe the software as “ an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value .” This incorruptibility and independence from the individual allows “ untrusted parties to exchange commercial transactions ”, according to Gartner . While the conversation around blockchain typically centers on finance , the software ’ s inherent transparency and accountability promises to have “ many potential applications in government , healthcare , content distribution , supply chain and more .”
