Evaluating the potential of blockchain technology to radically transform business [Feel free to download the presentation if you'd like to view it offline]

Presented at the INAUGURAL CAIA-SKBI CRYPTOCURRENCY CONFERENCE 2014 on 04 November 2014 held at the Singapore Management University This talk gives a general overview of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Blockchain is already disrupting many industries, and its governance is often cited as a critical issue as the technology achieves wider use.

Eris Industries' deck (and a recording of the talk) describing our view of where the blockchain space is going in the next couple of years. Any questions, ping Preston directly.

The document discusses the shift from centralized platforms and services on the internet to decentralized ecosystems enabled by distributed ledger technologies like blockchain. It outlines how centralized platforms currently control user experiences, transactions, and governance but that blockchain allows for decentralized trust and sharing of information. Sovrin is highlighted as a decentralized identity network that can provide verifiable digital identities to people, organizations, and things in a way that is portable, private, and secure without needing to connect to centralized issuer systems. Decentralized identity is presented as the foundational layer that can enable decentralized transactions, assets, logistics and peer-to-peer economies.

Initial thoughts on regulating Bitcoin and virtual currencies are discussed. Regulation aims to promote fair, efficient markets and protect customers. Lessons can be drawn from mobile and internet banking regulations. Potential regulations discussed include registration/licensing requirements, capital requirements, governance standards, and anti-money laundering compliance. Regulations should balance mitigating risks while allowing innovation, and ensure technological progress is not hindered.

Provides initial reflections on the potential of blockchain to transform the end-to-end retail investments industry

This was first presented on July 20, 2015 at Infosys in Mysore, India with the Blockchain University team. It is a heavily modified version of a previous presentation covering the distributed ledger landscape. All citations and references can be found in the notes.

This presentation is based on a combination of research for Melotic, for SKBI in Singapore and for the "Blockchain Global Impact" Stanford conference held in March 2015. The question that led to the market research was, "Can blockchains positively impact areas such as remittances?" References and citations can be found in the notes of each slide.

Its origins may be traced all the way back to the blockchain technology. There are decentralized blockchain networks. Blockchain technology is a wonderful innovation of the twenty-first century.

These slides were shared with attendees of the Digital Currency Group Enterprise Blockchain Workshop on Oct. 25, 2017.

Nick Meyne Enterprise Architect - Capgemini At Global Architecture Week 2015, we covered ‘Digital Currencies and Cash’ and their relevance to Tax and Welfare Authorities, concluding with the message: “It’s not about Bitcoin, it’s about the Blockchain”. Blockchain technology has the potential to enable a new mutually trusted, transparent way of sharing and transacting. In the UK Public Sector, Sir Mark Walport’s report Distributed Ledger Technology: beyond blockchain encouraged Government to assess its early use and potential. Meanwhile in the private sector, Blockchain FinTech excitement among start-ups and venture capitalists remained strong for a technology promised to be “like a whole new internet for value exchange”. But where are the real world use cases today? What is it that makes a use case more likely to succeed? In this talk, we will share and discuss a number of Capgemini examples.

This document discusses Bitcoin, blockchains, and their applications. It begins with an introduction to Bitcoin as a digital peer-to-peer currency and outlines some key facts about Bitcoin units and transactions. Alternative cryptocurrencies and the building blocks that make blockchains secure are also examined. The document then explores the benefits of blockchain technology and examples of blockchain usage beyond cryptocurrency, such as for supply chain management and digital identity. It concludes by considering opportunities for further blockchain deployment.

This document provides an overview of blockchain technologies and how IBM can help businesses apply blockchain. It defines blockchain as a shared, replicated ledger that allows all network participants to see the system of record. The document outlines several potential benefits of blockchain, such as reducing costs and complexity while improving discoverability and trusted recordkeeping. It also presents several example use cases across different industries where blockchain could help address business challenges. Finally, the document describes IBM's engagement model for helping customers explore blockchain technology through demonstrations and developing blockchain applications.

This document provides an overview of blockchain technologies and how IBM can help businesses apply blockchain. It defines key blockchain concepts like shared ledgers, smart contracts, consensus, and privacy. It also discusses example use cases for blockchain like supply chain management, financial transactions, and regulatory compliance. The document outlines IBM's engagement model for helping customers explore blockchain, build proofs of concept, and scale blockchain applications. It positions IBM as supporting the open source Hyperledger project and providing tools and services to make blockchain adoption easier for businesses.

This document discusses blockchain and how IBM can help businesses apply it. Blockchain is a shared, replicated, permissioned ledger technology that can improve business networks by reducing costs, increasing efficiencies and accessibility. It addresses challenges across industries. IBM supports the open standard Hyperledger Project and provides blockchain services through Bluemix to help customers get started incrementally with blockchain.

Making Blockchain Real for Business at the "z Systems Agile Enterprise Development Conference - 2016"

This document discusses how blockchain technology can be used to improve the car leasing business network. It describes the current inefficient system where each participant maintains their own private ledgers, leading to slow, error-prone synchronization. Blockchain allows for a shared, distributed ledger that gives all participants visibility into the single system of record. This increases trust, reduces costs and risks compared to the current methods. Specific benefits highlighted include improved traceability, more efficient auditing and regulatory compliance, and near real-time execution of transactions like letters of credit.

Blockchain is a shared, replicated ledger technology that can open up business networks by reducing costs, improving efficiencies, and increasing accessibility. It addresses challenges across industries by providing a shared system of record for transactions. The Linux Foundation's Hyperledger project is developing open-source, shared ledger technology standards through collaboration. The blockchain landscape includes identity management, platforms, security, payments, smart contracts, consulting services, industry consortiums, and applications in sectors like finance, supply chain, and government.
