Crypto-Assets and Blockchain
Crypto-assets and blockchain are fundamental technological breakthroughs with significant financial and societal implications. There are numerous advantages in adopting them, primarily solving key issues like trust in a network via decentralisation, digital asset ownership, authentication and traceability, improved speed and efficiency, cost reduction, enhanced levels of security, automation, and more. It is imperative to study these technologies and contribute to their effective application in industry, government, and education, as well as evaluate their impact on society at large.
