Blockchain Use Cases — Where can I use Blockchain? — Part 1
“How can you really use Blockchain apart from Bitcoin?” a question I get whenever I am using “Blockchain” in my vocabulary. They aren’t wrong in asking this, because the fuzz/ hype around Blockchain is such that people are confused and are trying to get their heads around “what the hell it really is?”.
Every one of us understands a new topic/ technology based on our existing expertise i.e. a Mechanical engineer would appreciate Blockchain more if you could give him a use case involving a conveyer belt in a manufacturing unit. Similarly, a Banker would understand it better when you tell him that Home Loans can be made easier and faster using Blockchain.
In this article I will give you a quick understanding of what is Blockchain and then will not bother to explain in detail in upcoming articles. To understand Blockchain in a simple language here is an article I wrote
Blockchain is Distributed Digital Ledger on a P2P network that provides an immutable database of transactions, and hence facilitating transfer and storage of value.
Blockchain through its various properties like Decentralized P2P network, based on Strong Cryptographic primitives, Immutability, Transparency, Linked history of transactions, Solution to Double Spending frauds, etc. it is being used in across sectors to build trust-less environments.
But since Blockchain solves a lot of problems does not mean that it can solve all the problems in the world. It has limitations which the industry is trying to mitigate at the moment. So, we cannot apply Blockchain anywhere and everywhere just because we have learnt it. We have to be wise in measuring the advantages against the disadvantages in different scenarios we are dealing in.
This can be a really expensive topic to answer, if you ask me? People charge money for consulting on Blockchain use cases. Nevertheless, we at BlockDigest are focused on providing Blockchain solutions and are constantly involved in educating people/ groups/ companies on Blockchain and related topics. So, we would like to answer this question in a series of articles. These articles will be based on different industries/ sectors like Finance, Retail, Government, Education, Healthcare, Energy, Manufacturing, etc.
