Blockchain Beyond Bitcoin

While Bitcoin remains the most well-known application of blockchain, the technology is rapidly expanding into other industries. From finance to healthcare, companies are exploring blockchain’s ability to provide secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions.

 Major players like IBM and Microsoft are developing enterprise blockchain solutions, while governments are experimenting with digital identity verification and even blockchain-based voting systems.

In supply chain management, blockchain is already being used to track goods with precision, reducing fraud and inefficiencies. Meanwhile, decentralized applications (DApps) are emerging, challenging traditional business models by removing intermediaries. 

Despite its potential, blockchain still faces hurdles such as scalability, regulatory uncertainty, and energy consumption concerns. The next few years will determine whether blockchain can truly transform the industries it promises to disrupt.
