Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies—A Platform for Transformation?

Alongside the ongoing fall-out from the Covid-19 pandemic, one of the major stories of the last year or so has been the growing prominence of blockchain technology and the underlying crypto assets it enables. Individuals, investors, businesses, and governments have all been taking note.

The question is, how might blockchain and cryptocurrencies become a platform for transformation? And what might this transformation mean for all of our futures? 

Kapil Gupta is a technology and crypto analyst and contributor to the book Aftershocks and Opportunities 2 – Navigating the Next Horizon and he joins me on this episode of the Informing Choices mini-Pod podcast to consider these questions: 

1. What is blockchain and what is cryptocurrency?
2. What is the nature of the transformation we might see?
3. What are the key enablers to transformation?
4. How might blockchain and crypto change the investment landscape in the future?

Reimagining Life, Society, and Business through Technological Bursts of Possibility

When we consider the emerging future, one of the critical factors we need to consider is exponential technology development. Currently, we are living through one of – if not, the – fastest changing periods in human history, largely enabled by technology. The range and potential of many emerging technologies is mind boggling, so it’s important that we consider the potential implications on life, society, and business.

In this presentation, I will explore a number of ideas, use cases, and scenarios concerning just a small selection of new technologies. 

As you consider these developments, perhaps ask yourself:

• How will you use technology to enhance your life or business?
• Which technology might make the most impactful difference to you?
