In this episode, Vivek shares his view on blockchain as a foundational technology.

Similar to how TCP/IP established the foundation for networking, blockchain is a foundational technology that enables applications that will revolutionize business. Blockchain provides ecosystems with instant access to the same underlying information, which enables participants able to reduce reliance on intermediaries, eliminate costs and risks, and deliver new services based on instant availability of reliable information.
