Few have missed the buzz around Blockchain over the last few years. But now we are seeing that it is much more than buzz; the number of real use cases based on the technology is growing, and an increasing number of organisations, across a range of industries, understand how to utilise its benefits. This subject was discussed during Centigo UK’s Blockchain inspiration breakfast seminar the 31 October, where business profiles and Blockchain enthusiasts gathered to gain insights from the industry, hear about live use cases and engage in discussion.

The Blockchain and Bitcoin conference, at Berns Salonger, Stockholm gathered on the 11^th September to discuss the current state of the industry. The hype may have lulled since last year, but the interest from those enthusiastic about the essence of this technology is still strong.

Blockchain changes the digital playing field when it comes to business models. Companies are building applications which can be governed in a decentralised way beyond the control of a single person, company or country. They are also utilising new methods of monetisation outside of the fiat system, distributing value and power. Furthermore, there are companies who can raise $4 billion in a matter of months, in ways we never knew existed just a few years ago. This is just the beginning.

In the previous blog post, I described how you can investigate and strategise around whether Blockchain could help you to solve a specific business problem, or seize an opportunity. If you believe it can, the next stage is to decide how you will use blockchain to realise the maximum value.

Now that the dust has settled around the hype of Blockchain technology, it is time to identify how your business can utilise the technology in practice and realise the benefits. Blockchain may not be a one-size-fits-all solution which solves everything. However there are several exciting use cases which can create opportunities in all industries, for everything from efficiency savings to new business models.

En bank påminner om en gigantisk räknemaskin, en dator. Men där datorn uteslutande använder oorganisk elektronik för sitt processande begagnar sig banken av människor av kött och blod för att utföra sina uppgifter.

Blockkedjetekniken är ett spännande sätt att göra sig av med de sista resterna av papperssamhällets byråkrati. Bort med stämplar, kommittéer och mänskliga kontroller – in med blixtsnabba matematiska verifikationer av på förhand överenskomna regler och procedurer.
