The Web, All Over Again

Blockchains are new technology layers that rewire the Internet and threaten to side-step older legacy constructs and centrally served businesses.

At its core, a blockchain injects trust into the network, cutting off some intermediaries from serving that function and creatively disrupting how they operate.

Rather, we should imagine new opportunities, and tackle even more ambitious problems that cross organizational, regulatory and mental boundaries.
