Blockchain evidence in court + a gift
Good Day! This is my weekly newsletter, with a dose of insights into the future. The topic of this newsletter is the exponential times we live in, hence the title of f(x) = e^x, which is the (natural) exponential function.
Recently, I launched my new concept The Digital Speaker and you can now book me as an avatar or hologram. Also, my tech trend prediction for 2021 is out, read it here!
Gift: A free preview of the book Blockchain: Transforming Your Business and Our World
My latest article:
As a valued reader of my newsletter, I would like to offer you a gift. As you may know, our new book was published a few weeks ago: Blockchain: Transforming Your Business and Our World. The book discusses how Blockchain can be used for social good and it is the first book that goes beyond cryptocurrencies and the financial services industry. In the book, we discuss how Blockchain can contribute to solving some of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and solve wicked problems such as identity fraud, poverty, climate change, fraud, censorship, democracy and fair trade. Within a few days, the book has already been recognised as a #1 new release in multiple categories on Amazon. You can download the preview here.
Three Useful Nuggets of Information
My weekly tips from around the web to get you thinking.
1. China allows Blockchain evidence in court.
China aims to be at the forefront of technology and with President Xi endorsing blockchain a few months ago, now China’s Supreme Court allows blockchain evidence in court and even views it as legally binding. China’s internet court will allow evidence that can be proven authentic using timestamps, hash value checks and other tamper proof verification methods. (ETHNews)
2. China will use blockchain to track charity donations.
China is overhauling its charity tracking system and plans to use blockchain to track any charity donations. They will build a tamper-proof charity organisation information query system, which will make the practice of donating to charities a lot more transparent and controllable. (Cointelegraph
3. Malta takes a calculated risk in adopting blockchain.
Malta’s blockchain industry initiative could establish it as a major hub for decentralised organisations, and it aims to strip away layers of bureaucracy. In doing so, they are taking a ‘calculated risk’, as prime minister Joseph Muscat said in an interview. (Bloomberg)
