In the past year, we have seen a lot of interest and careful, calculated advances being made in blockchain applications across industries. Blockchain today is proving to be a viable technology aimed at decentralizing every industry resulting in better efficiency and security.
Blockchain was born as the digital framework for cryptocurrency transactions, but many fintech enthusiasts prioritized the speculation of trading cryptocurrencies versus the technology that powered it. With the markets experiencing a downturn, we have the opportunity to shift our focus to innovative use cases of the technology.
Blockchain technology is a digital database where its information is stored across computers linked to one another. It is decentralized and distributed which makes it nearly impossible to alter without detection. An example of distributed ledger technology, blockchain technology ensures transparency and security of data, empowering peer-to-peer transactions.
According to a recent Forrester research article, there is a real risk of experiencing a ‘blockchain winter’ in 2019 as many promised and groundbreaking applications of blockchain technology have not yet reached the masses. In addition, the bear market has always caused many retail investors to lose faith in the technology as a whole. However, cryptocurrency is only part of the picture, and in my opinion, a considerably small part of the equation.
The technology is powerful. There is a lot of push towards using this ubiquitous technology to develop sustainable and scalable solutions across industries which will surely be worth the wait.
Here’s what we can look out for in 2019:
Blockchain adoption and use cases are growing daily, and possibilities for innovation are endless. This technology will stimulate new solutions, enabling businesses to rethink their processes to maximize the benefits of utilizing distributed ledgers. I look forward to successful implementation of the technology in the year to come.
