Blockchain technology is one of the most exciting things to happen to information technology in recent years. It solves a problem no other tech has been able to: trusting the network to keep everyone honest. What are the implications for this across different industries? How are regulators responding to the potential changes this can have on those industries? What new legal and societal challenges may emerge?
