No Blockchain is merely a Single Entity. The Physical Ecosystem itself consists of a Network of a large number of Interconnected Nodes or Devices (computers, servers, smartphones, etc.), sometimes numbering in the thousands, tied together through the Internet, and powered by electricity generated from external sources. From the Human Perspective, the Blockchain can be seen as a Collaborative Ecosystem involving Users, Investors, Miners/Forgers, and Developers. From a Functional Perspective, the Blockchain can be seen as an Ecosystem composed of a Distributed Database Platform on top of which run a number of Interrelated Software Applications and Services, each playing a separate but important Role in the Overall Operation of the Business.

The Policy and Regulation uncertainty has been identified as one of the main Challenges for the Deployment of Blockchain Based Solutions. While the Blockchain Technology is in use since 2008, its Application in Business and Public Services has steadily grown in the last years. Policymakers and Regulators recognize the Need to set up a Framework that helps unleash the Full Potential of Blockchain as a Revolutionary Technology....One of the most important Business Risks is linked to Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Blockchain opens up a full new way to approach Business Solutions and Regulations are actually not fully addressing this Decentralized Reality. New Regulatory Challenges appear such as defining the Liability of Network Participants/Providers, Application of AML Regulations, Governance, Data Protection Regulations, Territoriality and some Specific Industry Based Laws such as Capital Markets Legislation and others. Companies need Legal Certainty to develop their Business Solutions. A Revision of the Regulatory Framework for Blockchain would serve this Need.

Blockchain also has huge potential in Analytics. Modern Businesses have been benefiting from Data Analytics for several years now. According to Forbes, Data Analytics Adoption in Enterprises increased from 17% in 2015 to 59% in 2018. Now, only 10% of Businesses have refused to utilize Big Data. It is focused on making Predictions about Future Outcomes based on a massive amount of Historical Data as well as Techniques like Machine Learning. With this type of Technology, Enterprises will be able to forecast Trends and Behaviors.

The Idea of Self Sovereign Identity is not new. In the same way that Bitcoin built itself on the Shoulders of Giants, the Concept of Decentralized Digital Identity has been explored for many years. In fact, it has its roots originating from the 1970´s when Pioneers like Whit Diffie, Martin Hellman, and Ralph C. Merkle, Creators of Public Key Cryptography aimed to help People protect their Privacy in the New Digital Age of Computers. Blockchain Technology is the Crucial Breakthrough that is now propelling Digital Identity forward into the Era of Self Sovereign Identity “” a Watershed Powerful enough to reshape the Future of the Decentralized P2P Economy.
