transactions across multiple nodes (or computers) in such a way that the registered transaction cannot be altered retroactively. That\u2019s a big difference between a traditional database where information is held centrally and it makes it impossible for any single person or entity to control all the nodes.<\/p>\n<p>For a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> that is so relatively new \u2014 it was only invented in 2008 by an unknown person or persons using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto (The word \u201cSatoshi\u201d means \u201cclear thinking, quick witted\u201d in Japanese), who used it as the core technology behind bitcoin \u2014 the blockchain has been revolutionary.<\/p>\n<p>The original bitcoin blockchain was designed as an immutable public ledger that records all bitcoin transactions. Because it\u2019s impossible to change historical records on this ledger, everyone can see how many bitcoins were transferred from one account to another at any given point in time \u2014 which makes it impossible for people to lie about how much money they have or where their funds came from.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inarticle-wrapper channel-cta\">\n<div class=\"ica-text\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Join_TNW_in_Valencia\"><\/span>Join TNW in Valencia!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The heart of tech is coming to the heart of the Mediterranean<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>You may be thinking, isn\u2019t the crypto scene in crisis now?<\/p>\n<p>But almost 15 years on, the use cases for blockchain technology have grown far past crypto, providing new answers to challenges faced across different industries.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_growth_sector\"><\/span>A growth sector<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One obvious initial sector for adoption was that of banking and finance. The industry was wise to the opportunity, with blockchain technology helping the traditional pillar banks move into the fintech and neo-banking space.<\/p>\n<p>As far back as 2017, IBM had engaged in a project to build blockchain technology for a consortium of seven of Europe\u2019s largest banks, including HSBC and Rabobank. The aim was to facilitate international trade for small and medium-size enterprises.<\/p>\n<p>These days, the technology is also used in the day-to-day operations of many big and household name companies, including Microsoft, Oracle, JP Morgan, Amazon, and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But blockchain technology isn\u2019t without its downsides. Bitcoin mining has come under heavy criticism for its huge drain on energy. In 2020, bitcoin mining used 75.4 terawatt hours of electricity (TWh), which amounted to a higher electricity usage than Austria (69.9 TWh) or Portugal (48.4 TWh) in that year, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41598-022-18686-8\">a study from Scientific Reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, blockchain\u2019s cheerleaders have long been vocal about the potential the technology has to benefit all sorts of sectors. Beyond digital currencies and banking, the field is still wide open. Cloud storage and cybersecurity are obvious areas as the decentralized nature of the blockchain helps to keep data safe and secure.<\/p>\n<p>There are also use cases for health and medical records, logistics, advertising, retail, NFTs, music rights and royalties, and much more. That means career potential is also huge: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/doc\/3855708-digital-disruption-profile-blockchains-radical-promise-spans-business-and-society#:~:text=Gartner%20forecasts%20that%20the%20business,and%20%243.1%20trillion%20by%202030.\">Gartner<\/a> predicts the business value generated by blockchain will increase, reaching $176 billion by 2025 and $3.1 trillion by 2030, and VCs continue to invest billions of dollars into sector startups.<\/p>\n<p>While there are any number of bitcoin and crypto wallet startups in the blockchain space, equally, there are many more companies doing interesting things with blockchain technology too. Below, we take a look at four companies developing exciting businesses across pharma, digital identity, energy, and commerce.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BlockPharma\"><\/span>BlockPharma<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Based in France, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blockpharma.com\/\">BlockPharma<\/a> is developing a blockchain-based drug traceability and anti-counterfeiting solution, with the BlockPharma <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> allowing users to instantly check the authenticity of medication they buy.
