The blockchain revolution is already here, say Alex and Don Tapscott

According to tech evangelists Don and Alex Tapscott, blockchain technology will prove itself the foremost disruptive technology of subsequent decade.

“We now have an online useful which will give us another opportunity to rewrite the economic power system and therefore the old social order”, said Don Tapscott.

However, Tapscott senior underlines that it'll take a short time to rework established, multi-trillion dollars industries, like the availability chain and financial transaction sphere.

Even so, Alex Tapscott acknowledged that successful blockchain use cases are already gaining traction. as an example , he mentioned that stablecoins are already having a big impact on remittances and cross border transactions.

“Flows between different countries, especially within the global south, have increased dramatically”, he acknowledged .

Decentralized exchanges are showing impressive growth in recent months, Tapscott stated. Tapscott predicts traditional assets will gradually migrate on these sorts of exchanges, which do away with cumbersome middlemen.

Despite much of the ICO boom being tainted by questionable projects, Tapscott still identified this fundraising model together of the foremost successful implementations of blockchain.

“It doesn't matter where within the world you're (...) If you've got a compelling enough idea, you'll tap into a worldwide pool of capital and begin running a business.”

Finally, consistent with Tapscott, financial institution s will got to use blockchain to create their central bank digital currencies if they hope to compete with Bitcoin or corporation-made assets like Libra.

In particular, he said, blockchain technology could provide the degree of privacy, which CBDCs need if they're to exchange cash.
