"Beyond Bitcoin

Blockchain rose to prominence because of its key role in the cryptocurrency boom. However, we’re already seeing the technology make a huge different in all kinds of different applications.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are looking into ways that blockchain could be used to handle the fallout from major epidemics. Airline companies are figuring out how the use a digital ledger to keep track of maintenance and repairs across the breadth of their fleet, across the globe. The media industry could be completely transformed by the technology’s potential to approve access to content for paying customers.

As trust in blockchain grows, we’re starting to see major institutions test the waters. China is considering whether it could be used to collect taxes, while in the US there are calls for it to be implemented to offer improvements to the State Department.

Wherever there’s a need to keep an indisputable record of an action that can be linked to an individual, blockchain can lend a hand. Many would point to cryptocurrency as one of the most important technological advances of recent years – but the technology that underpins it might end up having a greater overall effect, simply based on the scope of its usage."
