Why is blockchain interesting? With blockchain, we have entered a new era in the digital economy. Blockchain opens up new possibilities for creating trust, value, and inclusion in various industries without the need for an intermediary. I also find that the decentralized applications (dApps) that are built on top of blockchains very interesting as they create a new paradigm for how we interact and transact online.

My touchpoints with blockchain so far: - Acquiring knowledge through online programs: Blockchain for Everyone by Binance Academy, Unit Master Program for Blockchain Fundamentals, DLT Talents Program, and Web3 and Blockchain in Global Commerce Specialization by INSEAD
