Blockchain Explained: The difference between blockchain and Bitcoin

The Bitcoin Origin Story In late 2008, around the time of the financial crisis, a ground-breaking post appeared on a little-known internet forum entitled Bitcoin: A peer-to-peer electronic cash system. It was written by a mysterious person called Satoshi Nakamoto, a pseudonym used to disguise the author’s true identity. Satoshi thought that the banks and governments had too much power that they used in their own self-interests. Satoshi envisaged a new type of money called Bitcoin that could change that: a cryptocurrency that wasn’t controlled or run by central banks or governments, that you could send anywhere around the world for free, with no person or institution in charge.

Data Monetisation | Euromoney Learning

How to get the best from your Data: Enterprise Value, Strategy and OrganisationData is ubiquitous. Organsiations generate millions of units of data every day. It costs money to create, store and dispose of. There are risks with its custody, it can be a critical determinant in the success or otherwise of a business, and it can be stolen or amended with ease, in some cases without anyone’s knowledge. And interestingly ownership of this critical business asset is not always clearly defined. Businesses are focused on their quarterly targets, and IT is focused on running technology.  For some organisations, ownership, and importantly, maximal leverage of data is either undefined or an abstract responsibility. In the worst case this responsibility only crystallises when there is some kind of br...
