Blockchain is an institutional technology that will drive us towards a society with self-sustainable institutions run by algorithms where everything we do is recorded, tamper-proof, self-enforceable, and although anonymous, open and accessible to everybody. Very likely, in this future context authoritarian institutions will continue to loose legitimacy as more open, transparent systems will be able to provide a different version of the truth approved by whole community of citizens without having to rely on centralized forces.
—Paolo Tasca for The Wall Street Journal
RESEARCH FIELDS
The major threat I see so far is the lack of technology literacy: the lack of the ability to understand how blockchain works in the world. This can hamper the development and spread of the technology. So a more important educational effort is required to help blockchain becoming a mainstream technology used in different business processes.
