To all of our disappointment, neither Steemit nor Bitshares were mentioned, but this is a promising presentation from one of Hewlett Packard Enterprise's leadership team about the coming disruption of blockchain technology in the enterprise.
Although it speaks to the use cases in the financial services industry, the presentation doesn't really speak to it with regards to it's potential as a currency, but more so from a transactional recording and ledger perspective.... medical records, inventory management (Walmart using to track suppliers), etc.
I mean, it's probably not in HP's best interest to straight-up encourage the downfall of Wall Street and the replacement of the existing banking industry/infrastructure :)
If you want to climb the ladder out of the weeds of day-to-day technobabble (forks, icos, DEX, hash, mining, whitepapers, etc.) and get a 50,000 ft view of how it's being viewed and conceptualized for large enteprise application
The blockchain revolution, the ultimate industry disruptor
"Blockchain will transform value exchange as profoundly as the internet transformed information exchange. Blockchain doesn't require powerful intermediaries, which can impact payments, trading, loan settlement, supply chain, healthcare and even voting. But as customers explore what blockchain means to them, they quickly realize there are many challenges along the way to that future. Join us to learn the implications of blockchain for your industry, the use cases, some common challenges and how HPE can help you along your blockchain journey."
To me, this is encouraging to see how it's being thought about at the highest levels of Fortune 100 companies.
What true enterprise applications and use cases do you see being disrupted, outside of just the disruption of the banking system?
