This webinar will provide a ‘sound, practical and safe’ introduction to this disruptive technology and the real world applications of blockchain and NFTs.
It is widely acknowledged that blockchain technology is being adopted faster than any other technology in human history with more than half the Fortune 100 are developing blockchain initiatives to stay competitive, according to a recent report by Coinbase.
It took the internet 20 years to have 500 million users. On the current trajectory it will take blockchain less than 10. It took 20 years for the number of mobile phone users to reach 1 billion. It is estimated it will take blockchain less than half this time to reach that number.
Although Blockchain adoption is still in its early stages, it is growing rapidly. This growth is being driven by the increasing number of businesses and organisations that are adopting blockchain technology and the variety of applications in the ecosystem, such as financial services, supply chain management, and healthcare.
NFTs and the tokenisation of digital assets is a big part of the blockchain ecosystem with NFTs becoming a $40bn market in 2021.
NFTs are essentially digital ownership certificates registered on a blockchain and one of the reasons NFTs are so popular is the fact they can take countless forms from digital works of art to trading cards, such as video clips of NBA plays. As the market for NFTs continue to grow, we’re going to see the creation of more platforms to showcase them and manage transactions. They also give creators a way to remove the middleman and earn from the resales of the asset for continuum.
