Why is blockchain interesting?

Blockchain is an emerging technology and we have only scratched the surface as it relates to its potential use cases and its level of adoption. I am excited to be immersed in a technology that has so much to offer and so much left to discover.

My touchpoints with blockchain so far: I have been fortunate enough to work with blockchain technology since 2020 and have exposure to various use cases including tokenization, digital cash and data lineage.
