- Abstract
While the Internet is passing through a second era of development, companies and business environment are challenged by a disruptive technology: blockchain (BC), the platform underlying Bitcoin virtual currency. Considered a digital revolution, but in the same time a natural consequence of the Internet development, BC technology has deep implications for many companies. By now, BC-enabled projects crossed through multiple industries and services: banking, supply chain operations, real estate, insurance, healthcare, electronic health records, copyright, music, renewable energy, to name just a few. New BC-enabled projects are initiated mostly by leading IT and banking companies. The potential growth of the Internet of Things makes the BC technology come even closer and faster. In this paper we present the pros and cons for adopting BC technology and show some aspects of the current state in Romania.
