3. What is Blockchain?
   Blockchain is the technology underpinning Bitcoin.
   It is a shared, cryptographically protected digital
   database that allows transactions to be recorded and
   verified electronically over a network of computers
   without a central ledger.
   Because the information in a blockchain is stored in a
   public, decentralized place, it is accessible and can be
   audited—and therefore it can be tracked for the
   purposes of preventing money-laundering or fraud.

4. Investment Outlook
   “I think Bitcoin startups need to be extremely
   practical . . . You [have] to get the customers.
   Otherwise, it’s going to be just like virtual reality —
   possibly.
   Virtual reality, fifteen years ago, was really hot. Then,
   it disappeared after the dotcom crash…
   If there is a correction, Bitcoin will get blown out —
   unless you start making something people want — and
   then it might be another fifteen years before Bitcoin
   comes back, just like virtual reality.” – Terrence

6. Future Focus
   “Blockchain will become [the] beating
   heart of the global financial
   system…Similar to any technological
   innovation, blockchain comes with a set of
   risks that must be considered,… These
   include errors in the design, malicious
   autonomous behaviour as a consequence of
   human decisions, and potential gaps in
   security across all inputs and outputs.
   Challenges such as these must be overcome
   if the economic and social benefits of
   blockchain are to be realized.”
