From Bitcoin to Blockchain: Industry Review April 2017 from OLMA NEXT LtdOLMA Capital Management
When the Bitcoin cryptocurrency was released in 2009, its underpinning, the blockchain distributed ledger system was the real technological breakthrough, a formulation that promises to change the basis of all types of transactions globally.
Blockchain technology has paved the way for an Internet of Transactions. Blockchain technology has already proved its worth in such areas as means of payment, interbank exchanges and international remittances. Touted as the next digital revolution, blockchain technology has the potential to transform traditional industries and alter society through disintermediation of trade. Any situation that involves an intermediary that is expensive or fallible represents an opportunity to create a blockchain application case. No industry is immune to the blockchain’s disruption potential.
In 2017, the blockchain technology is at an inflection point. The industry is in a state of transition and must move to Blockchain 2.0, which means the adoption of more sophisticated applications, such as micro-payments and smart contracts. Having outgrown its original bitcoin community, the majority of blockchain applications have yet to pass beyond the prototype stage to make blockchain technology the greatest restructuring technology of the next decade.

Global Cryptocurrency Market Report by IbinexIbinex
Ibinex, a white label solution provider has come up with a comprehensive market research report on the cryptocurrency industry. This report majorly focuses on four sectors of cryptocurrency – exchanges, mining, wallets, and payments.
FirstPartner's 2016 Blockchain Ecosystem Market Map helps to decrypt the blockchain landscape with a visual overview of the emerging ecosystem, players, technologies and trends. It clearly summarises three main areas of focus emerging around the core blockchain or distributed ledger protocols:
1) Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies: Providing an alternative to centrally managed "fiat" currencies, this sector includes Bitcoin exchanges, Bitcoin wallets, miners and cryptocurrency payment processors. The map illustrates how these companies interact and features some leading players including Coinbase, Circle, Kraken and 21 Inc.
2) The Financial Services Blockchain: This has been the main area of focus over the last 12 months as attention shifts from Bitcoin to Financial Services applications. An increasing number of players are focussing on commercialising blockchain technologies for banks, securities, derivatives and asset markets and institutional investors - and are attracting VC funding to do so. Ripple and Ethereum are leading candidate protocols for payment processing and smart contracts and players including Ripple, Chain and Digital Asset Holdings are gaining traction with Financial Institutions. The Map highlights leading technology companies and some of the banks, card schemes and processors who are investing in or evaluating distributed ledger technologies.
3) Other Use Cases: The distributed ledger concept and its ability to support transparent and tamper-proof asset registration, proof of ownership and asset transfer transactions makes it potentially applicable to multiple non financial use cases. The Map highlights a number of candidate use cases including publishing, legal, distributed data storage, document management and IoT. Some of the pioneering initiatives and companies exploring these applications are included.
Crucially the Map also provides a clear pictorial explanation and summary of the leading protocols at the heart of the ecosystem and concepts including coloured coins and smart contracts that supplement them to make a number of the proposed services possible.

By seeing the fact, Gini index can be decreased by blockchain hardfork.
Re-distribution can be good even for people who have wealth in some blockchain protocol, because it increases engagement, and bring more network value to the blockchain.
This is not only company /project level, also can be used for governmental level to do democratic re-distribution of wealth not by centralized authority.

The Blockchain - The Technology behind Bitcoin Jérôme Kehrli
The blockchain and blockchain related topics are becoming increasingly discussed and studied nowadays. There is not one single day where I don't hear about it, that being on linkedin or elsewhere.
I interested myself deeply in the blockchain topic recently and this is the first article of a coming whole serie around the blockchain.
This presentation is an introduction to the blockchain, presents what it is in the light of its initial deployment in the Bitcoin project as well as all technical details and architecture concerns behind it.
We won't focus here on business applications aside from what is required to present the blockchain purpose, more concrete business applications and evolutions will be the topic of another presentation I'll post in a few weeks
Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology Explained: Not just Cryptocurrencies, Econo...Melanie Swan
The blockchain concept may be one of the most transformative ideas to impact the world since the Internet. It represents a new organizing paradigm for all activity and integrates humans and technology. Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are merely one application of the blockchain concept. The blockchain is a public transaction ledger built in a network structure based on cryptographic principles so there does not need to be a centralized intermediary. Any kind of asset (art, car, home, financial contract) may be encoded into the blockchain and transacted, validated, or preserved in a much more efficient manner than at present including ideas, health data, financial assets, automobiles, and government documents. Blockchain technology applies well beyond cryptocurrencies, economics, and markets to all venues of human information processing, collaboration, and interaction including art, health, and literacy.

Will Digital Currencies Break The Banking System? Harsh Chitroda
So, when we ask a question of how will digital currency affect banks? So, we can say that Digital currencies are likely to give central banks more insight into the movement of money in the economy. The widespread use of electronic payment systems may also aid authorities to crack down on money-laundering and terrorist-financing efforts. Or on the other hand, we can also say that the Banks are afraid because Cryptocurrency exchange is a non-banking transaction. and if the Cryptos gain favours it can disrupt the ability of banks to create money. If this disruption alarms the central banks, then they will do something about it.
Global trade of goods has been growing at double-digit rates since the early 2000s. Digitzation had its time; but still we have manual paper based work exsisitng in most of the Trade finance activities. Now is the time to see value addition from Blockchain based platforms and how they can make this process faster, reliable and paperless.

What is Financial Technology ?
Some facts about FinTech
Most active areas of FinTech Innovation
How financial technologies (FinTech) can help in providing financial services and financial products to unbanked and underbanked ?
In this week’s webinar, Laura Masse walks us through the growing importance of Blockchain technology. We hear about how it can propel innovation strategy, disrupt business models, and create new revenue streams. We understand how the Blockchain isn’t just a way to exchange currency, but a mean to build Immutable Trust. We also hear about specific brands utilizing this technology and roadblocks to expect when trying to implement the Blockchain.
Laura Masse breaks down blockchain technology into 3 distinct functions:
1. Decentralized Digital Ledger
2. Decentralized Database
3. Platform for “Smart Contracts”

Digital Currencies: Where to from here? explores the most popular of the digital currencies, Bitcoin, and outlines the current state of play in Australia, New Zealand and internationally. In addition to explaining how digital currencies work and examining the implications that they have on our tax and financial systems, the paper looks at the roadblocks currently preventing digital currencies from obtaining “mainstream” acceptance, and poses the question “Is it the future or is it a fad, and where to from here?”
There is no doubt that digital currencies are not a fad, they are here to stay. They offer businesses and retailers faster, safer, cheaper processing and potentially enable them to tap into new markets. However, digital currencies pose challenges for Governments in areas such as banking regulation, consumer protection and tax. Also, due to the anonymity that their use affords, digital currencies are often associated with organised crime and terrorist financing activities.
For accountants and auditors, one challenge is that owners of the currency are not personally identified or traceable but, on the flipside, the distributed ledger (called the blockchain) is transparent, displaying to everyone all transactions. Download your copy.
In order to develop the economic condition of India, the issues associated with international payments must be solved by the government. The solution of this problem is to adopt digital currencies and blockchain technology for effective and affordable payments.

Impact of cryptocurrency on Economy - India and Global. This has been taken from several online sources. References mentioned at the end of the article. A cryptocurrency is digital money in an electronic payment system in which payments are validated by a decentralized network of system users and cryptographic protocols instead of by a centralized intermediary (such as a bank).
Money serves three interrelated economic functions: it is a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value. Without it, people would have to engage in a barter economy, wherein people trade goods and services for other goods and services.
There are speculations on whether cryptocurrency will be more efficient and secure than existing money systems or if it can effectively act as money and achieve widespread use. However, that is the not primary focus of the article.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
