I think this is the start of something big! I remember when the web was just starting out and people didn't understand the impact it would have. I think blockchain will be the same.

The finance industry, supply chain and logistics, and government are just a few examples. The key advantage is the decentralization and immutability of data using blockchain technology.

How will this impact cloud storage? Wouldn't storing large files on a blockchain be too expensive?
