Since Bitcoin appeared in 2009, the digital currency has been hailed as an Internet marvel and decried as the preferred transaction vehicle for all manner of criminals. The essence of Bitcoin is not the currency itself but the underlying technology that powers it. Blockchain is a replicating, distributed ledger that creates a record of peer-to-peer transactions without the need for a trusted authority.

The model is effective because it’s based on a distributed consensus, meaning that all parties agree on the value and transaction consistency. Not surprisingly, the technology found initial acceptance because it allowed a place where funds payments and transfers were immediate and transparent without the need for intermediary financial institutions. Additionally, once the data has been recorded, it cannot be altered without impacting all existing “blocks” of data.

Blockchain is a symbol of decentralized, highly secure transaction framework. Not only are companies eager to not lose out to competition, but are turning their attention to blockchain owing to the benefits it offers in terms of security, transparency, self-authentication, financial efficiency and shortened transaction times, in addition to being highly secure and ‘anti-fraud’ from its very inception.

Blockchain is expected to be the major game-changer as we see more and more transactions becoming digital with time. In fact, market analysts expect blockchain to be worth more than $25 billion in the next three years. With the SEC and other major regulators looking to finally break their silence regarding the legal standing of blockchain, the next few years can prove to be very interesting times.
