Not Only Banking, Even Beyond That Blockchain Can Transform Multiple Industries

Nobody knew blockchain until bitcoin was developed in 2009 and only then blockchain technology started getting attention. Normally blockchain is known as distributed ledger that records and protects digital data through the use of cryptography. The said technology is applied for network of digital currencies (cryptocurrencies), but its decentralized and secure nature make it a powerful tool for many other industries (i.e. supply chain, charity, trade finance, gaming, tourism, health, medical, etc.). Here are some innovative ways how the industries are harnessing the power of blockchain technology for the benefit of the respective industries to save upon operation costs in millions of dollars, to save upon operation time for execution of transactions, to relate how the product relates to it’s origin, etc.
