Blockchain is not just about money

We often wish to reach a stage of technological advancement that will have the power to change the basic pillars of our society. A system which could mend the economy, government system and business system of the society where we live. Along with this, we aim to change the concept of trade, trust and ownership. The aim seems to be quite unimaginable. We may think that this is never going to happen.  But, in reality it already exists! This is not less than a dream. This advanced technology is called “CryptoCurrency” and the technology is called “Blockchain”.

We are very sure that you must have heard of this name. If not, Bitcoin (type of crypto currency) might have crossed your path some time. It is the latest trend these days and has already grabbed a lot of attention with so much of value hike.

People often think that crypto currency is all about virtual/digital money. They relate it directly and only to money. But, the monetary aspect is just the tip of the iceberg. This is because crytpocurrency is a ground breaking technology where money is just a small possible application in it. It is like salt in the whole sea.

Shared source of Truth
The block chain technology in crypto currency enables a network of computers to maintain a ledger kind of thing. This is not in control of a single party nor it is closed. This is public and available in one digital ledger which is distributed across the network. This collective book keeping is done via the internet. This keeps a record of all the details of the transaction including the time, date and amount of the transaction. The verification of these transactions is done by the crypto currency miners. Thus, there is no chance of making disruptions in the transactions.

Not just money
Apart from just using in the monetary transactions, cryptocurrency can be used for other purposes as well. For example, the blockchain technology could be linked to a vending machine, drones delivering packages etc. It will lead help in tracking their work and supplies. Isn’t it too interesting? The downloading and exchange of huge files also becomes easy in the block chain technology.

So, let’s be little wider about this and explore it more. Cryptocurrency exchange and Cryptocurrency trading platforms are the best source to understand and get a practical application on the same.
