"At its core, the Blockchain is a technology that permanently records transactions in a way that cannot be erased but can only be sequentially updated, in essence keeping a never-ending historical trail. This seemingly simple functional description has gargantuan implications.  It is making us rethink the old ways of creating transactions, storing data, and moving assets, and that's only the beginning." William Mouygar in The Business of Blockchain, 2016.
