Blockchain technology is the biggest innovation since the Internet. As with the birth of the Internet, we still do not know how it will evolve, but it will evolve for a very long time.

Whether you are a technologist, an investor, a business owner, or a participant in an online social platform, you will likely find many benefits, if not crucial reasons for understanding and adopting blockchain technology. It will permeate almost every online activity we do, and it will transform old ways into new business models and functions.

The Internet has been a massive transformation in our society since its birth, and because we can’t trust everyone we meet on the Internet, it has filled up with a mass amount of third parties. These third parties attempt to help us store and verify information. Today, third parties such as Facebook, Google, PayPal, and Amazon are practicing Surveillance Capitalism to monetize our data. To learn more about Surveillance Capitalism check out this video. To our misfortune, the storage of our personal data with one central authority has become a major risk for hacks and misuse of customer data. Blockchain relies on cryptography, as opposed to human-driven third parties, to provide an immutable, distributed, and decentralized public ledger. 

Are you still not clear on why blockchain matters? No problem. We will navigate this new world together. 

I am heavily invested into IRL, Physical, Earthly realities, but life is becoming increasingly digital, and blockchain will permeate much of our digital functions. If we get ahead of the learning and adoption curve then we can take advantage of countless opportunities.
