Top 10 Blockchain Technology Companies for 2019
Few people understand what it is, but Wall Street banks, IT organizations, and consultants are buzzing about blockchain technology. Blockchain technology offers a way for untrusted parties to reach consensus on a common digital history. A common digital history is important because digital assets and transactions are in theory easily faked and/or duplicated. It is used in a decentralized manner and removes the need for intermediaries, or “trusted third parties”. Some of the top Blockchain Technology companies are:
