The Future of Blockchain: Applications and Implications of Distributed Ledger Technology

Technology has transformed how we work, play and do business. It has provided new solutions to old problems, disrupted traditional business models and helped us become more efficient.

In 2015, Deloitte Access Economics published a report that suggests the digital economy in 2020 could be worth A 139 billion. This growth will be underpinned by new technologies. One of these is distributed ledger technology and its most common application – blockchain. In 2016, The World Economic Forum lists blockchain as one of the top ten emerging technologies.
