The word “trust” is printed on things all around you. The dollar bill in your pocket. The box of Kleenex on your bedside table has a label that reads “trusted care.” In the physical world, it’s easy…

Entretien avec Christopher David, le fondateur d'Arcade City qui rêve d'uberiser Uber grâce à la technologie blockchain.

La blockchain, un registre numérique de transactions inaltérable et décentralisé, a été inventée en même temps que la crypto-monnaie bitcoin afin d'éviter les fraudes. Mais il s'avère que cette technologie possède d'autres applications intéressantes pour des secteurs comme l'Internet des objets ou la finance. Primavera De Filippi, chercheuse au Cersa et à l'université d'Harvard, analyse son impact sur les entreprises et l'économie.

Blockchain (cadena de bloques)  se suele asociar a la moneda virtual denominada bitcoin. Vamos a aprovechar esta asociación y explicaremos cómo funciona blockchain en un acto cotidiano que implique una transacción monetaria, por ejemplo, comprar un helado. Es un caluroso día de verano, se acerca a una heladería y echa un vistazo rápido a los…

What do Pied Piper and blockchain tools have in common? Both are always “coming soon.”

By now most of us are familiar with blockchain, the technology underpinning cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Outside of cryptocurrency, blockchain has many purported use cases in scenarios that require an immutable ledger.

Rhetoric has elevated blockchain to godly status, labeling it as a bleeding edge technology poised to disrupt all facets of life, from voting, to smart guns, health data, stock trading, international shipping, and beyond.

We’ve seen a ton of other innovative blockchain ideas too, yet many are unproven or simply hypothetical. So, the question is, what projects are successfully implementing blockchain in practice?

In this article we’ll strive to separate fact from fiction by showcasing 5 living projects that are actually using blockchain, with real world results. We’ll gauge the viability of such projects, and see how proven use may affect the global climate and attitude toward blockchain adoption.

A company’s optimal strategic approach to blockchain will fundamentally be defined by the following two market factors, which are those they can least affect:

• market dominance—the ability of a player to influence the key parties of a use case
• standardization and regulatory barriers—the requirement for regulatory approvals or coordination on standards

How can Europe benefit from blockchain technologies?

Digitising European Industry
ICT Innovation
Next Generation Internet
Boosting European digital industry

Blockchain is the best known distributed ledger technology. A ledger is a database which keeps a final and definitive record of transactions. Records, once stored, cannot be tampered without leaving behind a clear track. Blockchain enables a ledger to be held in a network across a series of nodes, which avoids one centralised location and the need for intermediaries’ services.

This is particularly helpful for providing trust, traceability and security in systems that exchange data or assets. There is a lot of potential for blockchain to be used in many different areas such as financial services, supply chains or healthcare.

To help answer that question, the first ever Blockchain Marketing Technology Landscape has been launched today by Never Stop Marketing. Inspired by Scott Brinker’s scarily humongous Marketing Technology Landscape, this first iteration shows both the current situation and the immense promise blockchain technology can offer marketers and advertisers. The most obvious target for disruption? Adtech.

De votre assurance à votre facture d’électricité en passant par la sécurité de vos données personnelles, la blockchain pourrait transformer votre quotidien.

Christopher David thinks Uber and Lyft are already relics. He’s created a ride-sharing app that drivers, themselves, will one day own, and he’s gamified the app in the process. Arcade City is the name of the game, and – if David continues to coax this fledgling app out of its nest – it could pose a threat to these established industry leaders.

 

From their inceptions, Uber and Lyft have made driver recruitment a beautiful, enticing process: Sign on and we’ll give you $500, they say. What these companies don’t explain, except perhaps in the small print, is that these perks are ephemeral, that they can lure drivers in and then cut rates or increase the amount they, Uber and Lyft, pocket at any time they chose.

 

And that’s just what happened in early January this year: Uber trimmed down on fares, then Lyft followed suit. Drivers nationwide complained and then protested. In their eyes, “trimming fares” just meant “slashing wages.” But these protests were altogether ineffective. ...
