● The Blockchain represents the most revolutionary technology since the birth of the Internet: it has created the crypto-economy and will be disruptive in almost all industries
● The Blockchain is the last piece of internet protocols, the Money Over Internet Protocol, allowing the shift from Internet of Information to Internet of Value, from a centralized to a decentralized economy
● It represents for the financial services what has been Voice Over IP for the telecommunications, enabling reliable digital transactions without intermediaries at near zero cost (accessible to unbanked people too), and creating new forms of capital raising and listing for companies, like token offering
● Blockchain anyway, like internet, will impact all the industries, starting from Utilities, Healthcare, Property, Public Sector, Education, Retail, Media, Transportation & Logistics: new business models, new services, and of course new global leaders will emerge exactly how it happens with internet (e.g. Amazon, Google, Facebook)
