Introduction :-
The Blockchain technology has become a regular news item with the emergence of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Now, this technology is disrupting almost all markets, changing the way we do our day to day business. Yes, the blockchain technology is changing our world.
Let’s decode the latest buzz word – The Blockchain Technology – in this post. Thank you for the excellent feedback on our earlier articles in this series – on Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and Automation. Feel free to post your feedback on this article in the comment section at the post-bottom. Imagine a Microsoft Excel Sheet file in your laptop with details of some transactions you made. You can call it a ledger. Now, imagine that your Excel Sheet file is copied to hundreds of your friends’ computers, connected to each other forming a network. The ledger in your laptop has become a distributed ledger. Then imagine that this network of computers is designed with a technology to regularly update this Excel Sheet, whenever you or your friends update the ledger.
Blockchain is a public ledger, an ordered and time-stamped record of transactions. This system is used to protect against double spending and modification of previous transaction records where transactions are recorded and confirmed anonymously. In common words, it’s a record of events that is shared among many parties (nodes). More importantly, once information is entered, it cannot be altered. Each full node in the network independently stores a block chain containing only blocks validated by that node.
When several nodes all have the same blocks in their block chain, they are considered to be in consensus. The validation rules these nodes follow to maintain consensus are called “consensus rules.”
Blockchain transforms Internet of Information to Internet of Value :-
Blockchain is the promise of completely new Internet, the Internet of Value. Blockchain’s economic impact is projected to exceed $3 trillion in the next decade. Internet is going to transform from Internet of Information to Internet of Value. The ownership of digital assets of any type, say money, deeds, Government records, financial instruments or art can be securely stored, transacted and tracked.
It is considered revolutionary for its ability to enable the secure movement of assets without intermediaries. The true value lies in creating consensus and trust between the strangers. That creates trusted transaction networks between entities that do not know or trust each other.
Blockchain Technology was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 for use in the cryptocurrency bitcoin, as its public transaction ledger. Satoshi Nakamoto’s aim in creating the decentralized Bitcoin ledger—the blockchain—was to allow users to control their own money so that no third party, not even the government, would be able to access or monitor it.
The creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi, disappeared back in 2011, leaving behind open source software that the users of Bitcoin could update and improve. The invention of the blockchain for bitcoin made it the first digital currency to solve the double spending problem without the need of a trusted central authority or central server. The bitcoin design has been the inspiration for other applications.
India’s Position in Blockchain Technology :-
Globally, we are still in an exciting but nascent stage of blockchain’s evolution as it moves from the protocol stage to infrastructure, before mass consumer interfaces and application layers. This is the perfect juncture for a rising power such as India to pay careful attention and capitalize on the enormous opportunities of this new Internet.
Sectors such as financial services, agriculture, healthcare, real estate and utilities all crucial for an emerging economy like India can see tremendous benefits from the application of blockchain technology. Blockchain is now the fastest-growing skill set demanded on job sites, with job growth rates at 2,000-6,000% and salaries for blockchain developers 50-100% higher than regular developer jobs. The decentralized nature of projects with distributed teams can translate into lakhs of high-paying jobs from all over the world being available to Indian developers. With its strong IT ecosystem, India can become a leading blockchain development hub and a major net beneficiary of global capital inflows.
Solving Indian problems: -
Conclusion :-
Public blockchains offer tremendous opportunity for India across four dimensions, jobs, capital, solutions to India’s problems and global strategic positioning. Blockchain is a digital technology for recording and verifying transactions. The distributed ledger is a permanent, secure tool that makes it easier to create cost-efficient business networks without requiring a centralized point of control. The application of this emerging technology is showing great promise in the enterprise. With the noble intentions of Start-up India and Digital India, blockchain technology can be an effective way to achieve the goals of the initiatives and ease the business in India. Blockchain technology has been proven and provides all the required security features to implement the solution quickly.
Way Forward :-
In the current regulatory environment, Indian developers do not have to ability to develop open blockchain solutions at scale. Serious blockchain professionals are migrating rapidly to countries with more friendly regulations. As a result, India’s ability to benefit from jobs, capital, local innovation and positioning is all curtailed without the talent ecosystem in place. The government has legitimate concerns around money laundering, tax evasion and capital flight using cryptocurrencies. However, regulating the space is not too difficult with a light touch and intelligent policies.
