Description
Now more than ever, blockchain is being considered as a disrupting technology that has the potential to change the landscape of multiple fields, markets and, in general, the way we, as a society, interchange information. One big misconception is that blockchain’s potential is reserved for cryptocurrencies. On the contrary, blockchain services might be used for the rendering of different services related to telecommunications, energy, insurance and even for the implementation of public policies. Hence, in this session we will not only debunk this myth but also show how some of the blockchain potentials might be applicable even in the legal services market.
