Blockchain for the global economy

Blockchain technologies are used when multiple actors, with different organizations and divergent or competing interests, need to share data and processes without a central authority to manage them. This is always the case with actors in the global economy, so blockchain and distributed ledgers are likely to be needed to keep the global economy running in its further development. It will probably take as long as the internet has taken to become the backbone of the economy, so we expect decades of wild blockchain developments and growing markets.
