This slidedeck briefly introduces blockchain technology and then requests readers to share a scenario - a story of a possible future - of possible uses for blockchain tech in the future. The stories can be shared on Sensemaker, and the slidedeck gives a step-by-step demo of how that would work. The deck then lists possible future users as prompts for your imaginative exploration of how blockchain technology might affect people in all walks of life and sectors.

Editor's Notes
This presents several approaches to extracting, filtering, and sensemaking ‘ambient futures’ – images of the future, scenarios that already exist in organisations and throughout society. It begins by considering both the range of scenario building techniques, and also the diversity of images of the future in which we are immersed.
