Blockchain: "It's Going to Radically Transform Our Society's Institutions"
summary
Claims that a global distributed ledger — replicated across hundreds of thousands, ultimately millions of computers — makes transactions immutable because to change one 10-minute block you must rework the entire history; miners solve proof-of-work math and get paid, so the Bitcoin chain is practically unhackable. Ethereum enables programmable smart contracts and rapid apps: prototype stock exchanges, music-payment rails, portable identities and bank ledger replacements that cut multi-day settlements to immediate settlement, and reach two billion unbanked users.
