Most people know blockchain as the secret sauce that powers
cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, but that's really just
the tip of the iceberg. We're joined by Arcwebers Shahrukh
Tarapore and Mark Hughey as we dig into the ups and downs of
harnessing blockchain for everything from healthcare data to
mortgages. Is it going to transform the way we handle data and
commerce, or just make everything really confusing?
This is part 1 of our 3-episode series on emerging
technologies to consider in 2018. Check out episodes 2 and 3, where
we explore wearables/IoT and voice interfaces.
1:10 – Meet Mark and Shahrukh
1:40 – Augmented reality, machine learning, & why we're
not talking about them
5:20 – How our tech outlook works
7:10 – Is 2018 the year that blockchain "happens"?
8:40 – Using blockchain to eliminate the middleman (and
what to do if you ARE the middleman)
11:20 – Is technology or bureaucracy holding back
blockchain?
17:50 – Blockchain platforms vs. blockchain apps
19:40 – Should you start using blockchain now or wait for
it to mature?
