Investopedia defines Disruptive innovation as
"a technology whose application significantly affects the way a market functions."
Take Smartphones for example. Better yet, the internet. A powerful tool which significantly changed the way us humans and companies did business. Those who adopted it continually reap its rewards unlike those who do not, which are negatively impacted for not joining the bandwagon
''The Blockchain is Next''
While financial institutions rave about the potential for blockchain—the technology that powers bitcoin—as a way to revolutionize the financial world, it can also help keep private data secure. A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger that, thanks to some computational tricks, records every change made to it indelibly
Distributed ledger technology has been taking quite the spotlight during 2017. With the bullish bitcoin market (and speculated bubble), lots of things have been at work with other altcoins and Blockchain platforms. The Blockchain offers immense potential, and its crazy that many people don't know that.
Then again, nobody found the double entry accounting system cool until its adoption in the 1940's and how much it changed the way people did business. Way to go Luca Pacioli!
So what's the disruption, and how will it integrate? We hope that our infographic will give you a better insight on what is to come
The Government of Georgia
