06. Blockchain industries

Hey guys! Welcome back to a new episode in The 4Geeks Podcast. Today we are talking about Blockchain, and it can be used to disrupt some industries.

This was our agenda:

* Banking:

* Citi Coin, from Citi Bank. (“equivalent to bitcoin”).
* HSBC has made what it claims is the world’s first commercial trade-finance transaction using blockchain.


*  Supply chain (https://goo.gl/ntYkvW )

* Supply chain is more complex than before
* Difficult for customers or buyers to truly know the value of products
* All process with IoT gaining transparency


* Security

Blockchain-based systems don’t have a single place to attack due to the technology’s basic principles, where each block is immutable and cryptographic.
Each block has previous hash references (composed from the data)
Proof-of-work (latency) and proof-of-stake(based on percentage)


*  Insurance

Fraud: $40B a year in loses for fraud, paperwork process increase fraud. Eliminate double booking, ownership and reduce premium division.  
Health insurance: records secured and shared between.


*  Charity — crowdfunding (Kickstarter, IndieGogo)

Most of the time we don’t know where the money is.


*  Government (https://goo.gl/exJmbu ):

National Identity Management Systems
More transparency to manage citizen’s data.
Tax and Internal Revenue Monitoring
Voting
Dubai and Estonia


*  Healthcare

* Share your own data
* Portable around the world.


*  Online Music:

* Listen directly from artists
* April 2017 — Spotify acquires blockchain startup Mediachain to solve music’s attribution problem … Mediachain is an startup based on NYC (“they will work on developing better technology for connecting artists and other rights holders with the tracks hosted on Spotify’s service.”)


*  Real Estate (http://ubitquity.io  — https://imbrex.io/ )

* Title records
* Transparency on property improvements
* Easy to mapping available properties to buy, real time updated.
* Possibility to gain younger investors (equity fund).

Hosts: Allan Porras and Sergio Monge.
