"We are on the cusp of a new wave of creativity that is fueled by the rise of the Connected Age.
We’ve gone from the simplicity of the digital age – defined as the web and the task orientation of visiting a website to “do something,” – to the complexity of the always-on, always-networked connected age where every one of us carries a multitude of digital devices that are constantly connected to an ever-increasing array of digital services.
Pretty soon, everything will be connected: our homes, our cars, even our bodies. For better or worse, life is navigated and mediated via a series of screens of different sizes and shapes.

Blockchain is everywhere. News papers, magazines, conferences, books and even water-cooler conversations. The promise of blockchain is to revolutionize everything. However, no reasonable person can believe that the problems we face today could all be solved by a single piece of technology.

In this talk, we will analyze the hype surrounding blockchain to understand what is real and what is not. We will highlight where there are opportunities today with blockchain what remains speculative at best. We will take a grown up view towards power-dynamics that shape the world today and will impact whether and how blockchain will grow. We will then look at a high-level view of today's blockchain landscape go into where the future lies across the general area of commerce - including payments, structured finance, music, international shipping.
