Benefits of Blockchain Technology

The Value of Values with Rich Hickey https://youtu.be/-6BsiVyC1kM - great video that explains benefits of the stream of immutable values (facts) vs. more traditional approach of representing knowledge as some current mutable state.

I liked that talk .. however, as a Communications Engineer, I disagree with most of his definitions of "Information"

This is a short piece from The Economist. It mentions a public ledger for banks. Most importantly, it looks beyond Bitcoin.

Blockchain technology, properly applied, has the potential to establish a new global paradigm where people can trust and secure information. Allowed to mature it is difficult to imagine any aspect of society that will not be positively influenced. By swinging the balance away from pervasive systemic corruption designed purely to enrich a handful of individuals at the expense of the majority, a more civil and equitable society can be achieved.  One based on maximising individual potential, unleashing human innovation and achieving peaceful endeavour on an unimaginable scale.
