Blockchain Tech: We Could Learn a Cybersecurity Thing or Two from Bitcoin
Although developed as a core technology underlying the infamous bitcoin, the blockchain ledger mechanism is proving to have a multitude of potential use cases, from IoT micropayments to capital market trading, retail banking and even voting.
