Blockchain is the Future of Financial technology

The technology behind Bitcoin is called ‘blockchain’ and this is indeed is the future of financial technology. People often think of Bitcoin as only virtual money or a transaction system; however, it is not correct as if you look closer, you will see that the monetary aspect is just the tip of the iceberg, there are several reasons to say this. 

For instance, Bitcoin is a ground-breaking internet technology for which money is merely one of the possible applications. You must understand that money exists to facilitate trade and throughout the centuries, trade has become incredibly complex. Needless to say everyone trades with everyone, worldwide and it is recorded in bookkeeping.

However, this information is often isolated and closed to the public and for this reason, we use third parties and middlemen we trust to facilitate and approve our transactions. Governments, banks, accountants, notaries, and the paper money in your wallet which are popularly called “Trusted Third Parties”. The same purpose is being fulfilled by Bitcoin.
