Blockchain possible uses
CRYPTOCURRENCY
Blockchains are the basis of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
BANKING
Financial institutions have been investing in blockchains to simplify their record-keeping for payments.
SUPPLY CHAIN
Recording trades on a blockchain offers a way to check the history of a product. For example, jewelry companies hope it can assure customers that diamonds are not from places where they could finance war.
HEALTHCARE
With blockchain, medical history could be securely stored and controlled by patients.
VOTING
Blockchain records could create tamper-proof election returns.
PROPERTY RECORDS
Storing land records on a blockchain could cut down on costly title research and insurance. In politically unstable places, it could help prove ownership.
