Blockchain – the internet of money

The key features of blockchain—security, transparency, decentralization, immutability, and programmability, are combined in a platform, which doesn't need any central authority in order to process transactions, value, and information transfers. By doing so, in a direct, peer-to-peer way, blockchain creates a completely new paradigm for global business.

No wonder there are so many heated opinions and discussions about it; and, oh boy, can it get overwhelming! What this shows is how important this technology is, and what it can bring to the world.

While we call it the internet of money, we should remember that blockchain is a layer on top of the internet that is highly effective and efficient for storing and transferring values in a decentralized way.
