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.

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.
