The blockchain economy: Insights from global experts

Processes must be re-engineered

"The opportunities are huge because we just started – this is just at the beginning of the big bang so we need to understand the technology and how we re-engineer processes. And once we know that, and knowing that this is a new network that is decentralised, the huge volume of new business cases will be enormous. It will be big. Big in terms of business and big in terms of social impact."

A second chance for social equality

"We have a second opportunity with blockchain to provide a better and more equal society with a better redistribution of wealth. I wouldn't like that this is understood as I'm excluding an economic sector or our systems of capitalism or how it's working – it's just the opposite. I think that companies need to find their place in a new type of economy as well as the value that they're adding to new value chain systems."
