It will be interesting to see how this aspect of blockchain unfolds.
There is the potential to really open up the world of medical research by having all the data available to entities that require it. Can you imagine the breakthroughs? The incentive is there for people to get paid with the token economy so that should have people making the data available.
The only question is how do they make it accessible to get large scale research going while ensuring security and privacy? That is what remains to be seen.
It is really cool that things are going in that direction. I figured the medical research field would be one of the ones impacted by blockchain...I just never envisioned it would hit in 2018.
Could Enigma be used to keep the privacy? Seems right up their alley
Yeah, security and privacy is really important and I hope it will be provided.
I also couldn't even imagine that we will see so much going on this year. The blockchain technology is definitely moving way faster than anyone could've expected.
If it keeps moving at this pace, what will we see in 5 years? 10 years? I think my brain is incapable of predicting anything when we are seeing such speed in development...
You brain is incapable of it because it is wired for linear thinking. We are not designed to think exponentially and that is what we are going.
Decentralization provides true exponential possibilities. Like on STEEM here, anyone with the know how can create an app and put it on the blockchain. At the same time, the same person can create a token with it and have a currency tied to that application.
This can be anyone in the world.
Where did that possibility ever exist before? Truly amazing.
Yup, all the possibilities and opportunities seem to be endless! Decentralization FTW!
@taskmaster4450, Blockchain is the future without any questions!
Internet will become a thing of the past as blockchain progresses its way into our daily lives!
The possibilities are never ending!
As mentioned in my comment, I think nebula is something to watch out for! I do have some queries regarding it questioning how it would gather all the data from all over the world! But the world is full of possibilities, at least I would like to believe so.
Who thought Blockchain would be a reality! Likewise, who could predict the future? Maybe Nebulas would become Millions worth of a Company! Lets watch and see 🙂
