Let’s solve real world problems with blockchain

By Frederick Vanbrabant

Elevator Pitch

This is a new talk for me that I’m really excited about. It links new technology (blockchain) to issues like blood diamonds and passports. I truly believe that this is a topic that that gets overlooked. People tend to only link blockchain to Bitcoin but it has a lot of uses besides that.

Description

Blockchain is quickly becoming the buzzword of the year, but people tend to only link it to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. But let’s take a look at some other real world problems we can solve with this technology. In this talk we will take a look at how this technology works and delve into some examples for countering blood diamonds and updating passports.
