Blockchain

what is it good for?

• Blockchain is a distributed Ledger: authenticating
• open distributed ledger online that tracks transactions between parties (and verified). Secure encrypted distributed transactional 'database'
  • i.e Voting: I affirm that I have signed that I vote for such and
• Different computers agreeing on one transaction taking place.
• Transaction: exchange of “value”. Creating a programmable language that code the contracts

• techno optimisim
• commodification of everything
• removing all human-points
• commodification of electrons: clean energy, buying clean energy depending on proximity.
• Distributed autonomous organization:
  • create set of rules for everyone
  • interact with contracts
• Localization of currency
• Time banking: using time instead of money as unit of currency. An implementation of barter system. (a mutual credit style system)
• Currency that expires over time
• actual currency chopping: Quebec- Gaspesie
