Blockchain study

[Louisa444]

Hi !


I have to study the short, medium and long-term application of the blockchain within the financial sector for my thesis. My professor gave me this topic and I liked it so I said yes. I am thinking about studying who's really working on implementing the blockchain to see if it's just a buzzword or if the majority of the companies are really investing in it and not only talking about it and about their ideas by searching on the internet informations for example. And getting in touch with different companies. I'll be doing my internship at EY next year so I'll try to get the opportunity to have information too. And PWC has already done this type of research so I thought I could also compare a little bit my results by the end of my research.

I don't know if it's a good idea for the empirical part of my thesis so I wanted to know what do you think about it
And if you have other idea please let me know beacause I am a bit lost.


I'm also new here so I don't know if it's the good place to ask my question. I'm sorry if it's not 


Thank you !

PS : I'm also sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker ^^

You came at the right place, there's actually a lot of threads in this forum that will be worth to read. As for your thesis, you can just actually scan through this section for your answers. This might help you to get a hunch of what you are looking for, here are some lists of companies that are using blockchain technology in their business model, hope this might help.

Your english is absolutely fine and you chose an interesting topic to research. The blockchain is something which all world governments support though some of them don't like the cryptocurrency market in general.

Check out the Beginners and Help section of this forum which will help you find information on the blockchain and how it operates in a simple manner.

Your English is good. There is plenty of educational material here, and also on Youtube. Also, you may want to try some of the software out there to gain hands-on experience eventually. Some software is more complicated than others - so you can try the easy stuff first. If you have any questions, there are plenty of people who will help you find the answers you seek.

[darklus123]

Please start your study with the history and you've also came to the right place. We have here a lot of veterans that can answer your questions you just have to be on the right place of this forum.

Opening a very interesting topic while doing research can be a very good start for you. Just mind as well that there are a lot of trolls here so taking an initiative to confirm such posts is also advisable

[traderethereum]

That is good, at least you can study about blockchain, and if you have programming skills, maybe you can contribute or check the code too, so you know how the process is run.
But before you decide to research, it is better to know what your purpose and your implementations related to the blockchain. I mean, you need to know what is your reason, so you are interested with blockchain technology.
Do you interesting with the reporting in the blockchain that could be applied to the finances section, or you want to know about the process of the transaction, or you want to know how if blockchain was being used for our daily life?
What is the problem so far that might get you to confuse?

Hey, if you are thinking to use blockchain technology for your business model then I must appreciate it as the framework based on blockchain technology expedites the development of smart contracts and distributed applications for enterprises. Even you can use Blockchain technology with AI and IoT to achieve a great result.

[amishmanish]

Here is an outline for your thesis:

Short term prospect: Raise billions by attaching the word "blockchain". Read about how Kodak did it and now facebook is doing it.

Medium term prospect: Realize that the tech won't work so well if you want to keep it centralized and private so start proposing Consensus mechanisms that can "sound" decentralized.

Long term Prospect: Realize that you cannot beat PoW or Bitcoin and then adopt Bitcoin leaving the stupid ideas behind.

I must not be so presumptuous as to outline your thesis so easily, yet blockchain and crypto is about decentralization. Most "corporates" are trying desperately to do it their way and that is the reason for this love-hate relationship with crypto and particularly bitcoin.

Hey

Let me tell you something , blockchain doesn't necessarily mean BITCOINS and cryptocurrencies to be honest they are just a part of it let me list out some major sources that uses the blockchain technologies today.

But in short it's an excellent topic for the thesis :-

 1. Government
 2. Identification
 3. Mobile payments
 4. Insurance
 5. Endangered species protection
 6. Carbon offsets
 7. Enterprise
 8. Border control
 9. Supply chains
 10. Health Care
 11. Shipping
 12. Real estate
  13. Energy

Etc...... Go for it!

[shield132]

There are a lot of companies/governments who implement blockchain technologies for a lot of reason, for example I can tell you that Georgia implemented blockchain technologies for land title registry with the help of Bitfury to add an extra layer of protection to this process, you can see article here: https://cointelegraph.com/news/georgia-records-100000-land-titles-on-bitcoin-blockchain-bitfury
Also latelt Binance decided to have a contract with blockchain development company to get rid of money laundering on their exchange. There are a lot of ways to use BC technologies, search articles on cointelegraph with keyword blockchain.

That's a good list of blockchain getting used on various functional sectors. Right now more and more implementation through blockchain technology keeps increasing, same is the opportunity to learn about the technology. More institutions have come up with plans of course on blockchain. Hope the learning will help with the future as everything will be implemented through blockchain in the future.

Do you noticed a paradox? So much talk about ico projects, cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence. But when I begin to ask simple questions "what project do you support?", then silence in response. People make view that know everything, but they even don’t have the basic understanding how the blockchain works?

Try to be more positive. Blockchain technologies are still entering a phase of growth and are still far from universal use. Although I agree that jokes with chocolate bitcoins show the not too smart side of people. People are easily led astray when they do not understand what they are dealing with and hear bikes. That's why I like projects like Taklimakan, which have a good educational base for newbies who are just discovering the world of tranding and for a more confident user who can share their knowledge

Check out the Beginners and Help section of this forum which will help you find information on the blockchain and how it operates in a simple manner.

When it comes to history then this forum itself would be sufficient or would be a good add up when it comes to info not generally on blockchain tech but knowing the origin would already give out the idea.

Links been given or provided above which is substantial for that thesis.This is somehow quite a broad topic for sure.

checked this sourse, looks good. I saw many educational icos but it seems to me no one can realize all solutions that they offered. I would even say that education should start in schools, including acquainting with modern concepts like cryptocurrency. But even among adults there are a lot of non-understanding people. Therefore, any projects that increase the educational level of the society on the use of the blockchain are great.

Blockchain is the technology of cryptocurrency. It's the most important part online market which helps to run this properly. And it's really important to study about Blockchain. I think people should need gain some proper knowledge about Blockchain. How to work this technology and how to maintain cryptocurrency properly etc. Blockchain is the future of online market and the best technology which helps to cryptocurrency.

Sometimes you do not know where to go. not everyone is able to support the conversation about blockchain technologies. thanks for the tip

Wow, you almost shared all possible industries that blockchain can be useful there. For the automotive industry, it is second to none but for other sectors, I can't say the same thing. BLokcchain is not only about Bitcoin and making money.

[kryptqnick]

Welcome to this forum! It's great to hear about people doing academic research on blockchain and cryptocurrencies. While you'll probably focus on cryptocurrencies, you should keep in mind that this is indeed not the only way of adopting blockchain. That being said, I'd recommend you to surf the Internet for relevant information. For instance, here you can see a long list of banks that already use blockchain and here are some use cases of blockchain in the financial industry.
You might also want to dwell on the topic of accusations of cryptocurrencies in the financial area. The most common accusation is that blockchain transactions are generally not traceable to particular people, which supposigly leads to easy ways of money laundering. In response to that, it's worth mentioning that some money laundering scandals with banks involve more money than the total market capitalization of the crypto market(here is the total marketcap of cryptos and here is one of the recent huge scandals).
There are many things to explore. Good luck!

Thank you for merit 😊
Yes even I think that the encoded information's storehouse is going to be blockchain for everything and anything, from a simple coffee shop to the complex documentation , it's fast , easy and more reliable than today's programming.
Hope we get to learn more about it in the future.
