 Future of Blockchain: Whats on the Horizon 

The exciting thing about blockchain is there are so many possible use cases where peer-to-peer transactions, trustless trust, greater efficiencies through disintermediation will alter existing industries in ways not yet conceived of. This panel is sure to touch on these topics:

• Future of Smart Contracts – Will they be employed broadly or only in narrow cases where the conditions to be met are easily verified in the digital world?

 

• Sharing Economy on Blockchain– What will AirBNB, Uber or Spotify look like when there is no central authority in charge?

 

• Digitization of Assets – Exploring the future of FinTech. The space is being disrupted from various angles. See how it actually happening.

 

“We’re excited to see the blockchain community continues to grow and come together for BlockchainWeekend. Looking forward to hearing updates from the teams that participated in the NYC BigApps Blockchain Challenge, as well as the other exciting blockchain projects from around the world.”
