In case you haven’t heard about it yet, Blockchain is a new and fast evolving technology that is creating fundamental changes in personal finance, business, financial markets and banking worldwide. Its most popular product is the virtual currency “Bitcoin.” While Bitcoin has gained most of the media attention, Blockchain has already found its application in many industries – specifically finance, law and supply chain management.

Giants like Microsoft, IBM and large financial institutions are investing considerable resources into Blockchain, betting that its applications are going to transform the way many industries operate. Investments into Blockchain-related startups have increased exponentially in recent months.
