Conclusion
(1) Step away from “where can blockchain be used”;
(2) Understand the value it could bring in any use case;
(3) Start with the one you score the highest;
Evaluate blockchain on its 6 key elements
- Transparency
- Ownership on assets / transactions
- Traceability
- Distributed data
- Trust in the technology
- Smart contracts
