FINANCIAL FOX: Blockchain, Digital Assets, Big Data and Markets — What you need to know!
The internet era as we know it really started in the early 2000’s, riding on the wave of the first high-processing computers.
The dawn of the internet has not only brought advances to society but has also ushered in a digital revolution that is still transforming how the world operates. With people getting more comfortable with the technology almost 20 years later, there’s now a plethora of use cases offered by high-performance devices. DLT, blockchain, digital assets, big data and AI are the new disruptive elements in today’s digital revolution.
AI and Blockchain are becoming more seamlessly integrated and enhanced each day and their use in various applications is changing the world as we know it.
Automated ledgers have already started to replace manual book keeping methods, the implications of which have already made waves in the fintech industry: Banks and other financial authorities sent ripples through to experiment with blockchain to upgrade their business models and offer greater ease operability to their consumers; investors are (gradually/tentatively) venturing away from traditional assets towards crypto assets; and Big Data has become the new oil, with data security and privacy a major issue to be grappled with.
In the upcoming Financial Fox, Founder Stefania Barbaglio will be hosting a special programme Everything you need to know about Blockchain, Digital assets, Big Data and Markets, focusing on the technology revolution and its implications. Distributed ledger technologies like blockchain are currently transforming industries and revolutionising the ways companies and governments operate. Decentralised applications and smart contracts are being used more and more across a variety of use cases for businesses, governments, individuals and even IoT devices.
