data transparency in blockchain的八卦，Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

In 2017, blockchain hit the peak of Gartner’s ‘hype cycle’ of emerging technologies – ahead of autonomous vehicles, connected homes and smart robots. That means as the hype begins to die down and expectations are brought in line with more realistic expectations, people and businesses alike will begin to understand how exactly they can incorporate blockchain technology to enhance or complement their operations (if at all).

Stakeholders across the value chain will likely benefit from the power of decentralized trust. But the ones that stand to win the most are small-to-medium businesses in the following applications:

1. monetary exchange
2. smart contracts
3. identity verification
4. security and transparency
5. cheaper data storage
6. real-time transactions

//IOT is going to totally radicalize the data market. I think the data business is doomed, myself. It’s a very, very high volume and very low margin [business]. As the internet of things grows, as we have sensors on everything: cars, fridges, TVs then data is going to become ubiquitous. Therefore the volume of data will increase, the price of data is going to go down. You won’t be able to sell data in the way you can today. I think people are going to start taking control of their data much more. There is going to be more reciprocity in the way that people share their data with companies like my own and other marketing agencies. But generally, the increase in data is one factor that is going to make analytics companies like ours more valuable. More data is going to need more analytics, period. And then at the other end — if you see it as a sandwich and we’re in the middle — you’ve got blockchain. And by having distributed ledger technology you’re going to an ability to have transparency, and to have accountability as to how data is and data sets are being used and implemented, forevermore, in perpetuity. And so, yes the data landscape is getting more frightening with IOT. But on the other hand, it’s going to be to be more self-regulated through the Blockchain and it’s going to be more transparent. And both of those things are the bread rolls with the analytics being the chess in the middle of the sandwich. Analytics are going to play more and more of a function in deciphering huge quantities of data, making sense of it, applying it into many different areas and then using blockchain technologies to securitise that. //
