What is blockchain?
A blockchain is a data structure that makes it
possible to create a digital ledger of transactions
and share it among a distributed network of
computers. It uses cryptography to allow each
participant on the network to manipulate the
ledger in a secure way without the need for a
central authority.

Editor's Notes

  • #7 As of 2014, the report estimates, MIT alumni have launched 30,200 active companies, employing roughly 4.6 million people, and generating roughly $1.9 trillion in annual revenues. That revenue total falls between the world’s ninth-largest GDP, Russia ($2.097 trillion), and the 10th-largest, India ($1.877 trillion), according to 2013 data on those and other countries from the International Monetary Fund.
  • #22 TIG Funds: -Supports all technology areas but funding preference is given to proposed projects related to these technology areas such as Big Data Analytics, IoT, Cloud, eCommerce, Security, Games, 3D Printing, Mobile Technology/Computing or combinations of two or more of the said technology areas. Fund (formerly known as MaC3 Co-Pro Fund) is a funding support designed to help innovative local companies to develop, produce and co-produce content in the areas of Animation, Game, Digital Film with VFX components, Beyond Entertainment (Education, Simulation and Training content), High-end Technology Deployment (Film Technology, Editing and Coloring, Digitization) and Digital Music that will contribute to the overall development of Creative Multimedia Industry and MSC Malaysia.
  • #23 TIG Funds: -Supports all technology areas but funding preference is given to proposed projects related to these technology areas such as Big Data Analytics, IoT, Cloud, eCommerce, Security, Games, 3D Printing, Mobile Technology/Computing or combinations of two or more of the said technology areas.

  • #29 FTEG responsible for formulating and enhancing regulatory policies to facilitate the adoption of technological innovations in the Malaysian financial services industry. The introduction of the Sandbox is another key initiative by the Bank in providing a conducive regulatory environment for the adoption of innovative financial technology solutions, following the establishment of Financial Technology Enabler Group (FTEG) on 2 June 2016.  Mr Aznan Abdul Aziz, Chairman of FTEG said, “The Sandbox is an important regulatory tool for the Bank to spur innovation in the financial sector. It signifies the Bank’s commitment to improving the quality, efficiency and accessibility of financial services in Malaysia through a progressive and responsive regulatory approach that unlocks the value of technological developments.” 
  • #33 This tells us that Nigeria although doesn’t have the infrastructure for development it has the entrepreneurial culture to support it.
  • #40  Once a block of data is recorded on the blockchain ledger, it’s extremely difficult to change or remove. When someone wants to add to it, participants in the network — all of which have copies of the existing blockchain — run algorithms to evaluate and verify the proposed transaction. If a majority of nodes agree that the transaction looks valid — that is, identifying information matches the blockchain’s history — then the new transaction will be approved and a new block added to the chain.
