Quote
“Blockchain is much bigger than the internet.
It has the potential to transform industries
that have historically been government
regulated because they are so big.
For example, banking, real estate, insurance,
venture capital, health care, and government
itself can all be completely transformed by
blockchain.”
- Venture capitalist and billionaire Tim Draper

In Code We Trust
Blockchains, in essence, make it possible
to replace a middleman
— and all the activities a middleman
would perform — with code.
42. IBS Live
The core idea behind blockchains
— a database that is maintained by a
network of users
— was first described in a 1991 paper by Dr.
Scott Stornetta and Dr. Stuart Haber, while
working at research center Bellcore.
At its most rudimentary level, you can think
of a blockchain as a very special database.
