Wow. I’m blown away by how many blockchain implementation articles there were this week. IBM (twice,) banks, sovereign nations, food industry, voting platforms, insurance, real estate, forestry- it’s blowing my mind just how big it’s getting (and to think that this is just the beginning!)
Enjoy, and be well, Everyone.
