How can you demonstrate leadership potential with Blockchain?

Blockchain is used mainly in finance. In accounting perhaps you know of double-entry book-keeping. Every financial transaction has equal & opposite effects in at least two different accounts - invented back in the 15th century. Blockchain is complex technically but at a high level think of it as being "triple entry book-keeping" A financial transaction is stored on & validated by multiple computers (eg bitcoin entries are stored on >5,500 distributed computers). Once over 50% of the computers agree the financial transaction, it is permanently stored on those computers & CANNOT be undone (it can be updated but the entire network of computers has to re-agree any update. Makes it harder to hack. Also called Distributed Ledger Technology

Everybody think that Blockchain is something complicated and difficult to understand! This because so often only difficult words are used to explain it, in reality it’s much simpler than how it sounds! But you got to start somewhere and don’t just listen to what mainstream media try to tell you, do your own research and start with the basics, but especially from the use cases that already exist. I would love to suggest a book that I think it’s key to understand what is happening and why: “The Bitcoin Standard”. Blockchain is the future. The future is bright and it’s just around the corner ??

To demonstrate leadership potential in blockchain, actively engage in the community by contributing valuable insights, participating in discussions, and collaborating on projects that showcase your skills. Take the initiative to stay informed about emerging trends and technologies within the blockchain space, demonstrating a commitment to continuous learning and innovation. Finally, mentor others, share your expertise, and articulate a clear vision for the strategic integration of blockchain solutions, emphasizing your capacity to lead and drive positive change in the industry.

Blockchain is known as Distributed Ledger technology, while we know that the ledger system has existed years ago, Blockchain is a more transparent, inclusive and tamper-proof version of it. Let's call Blockchain a Book keeping platform where you can store any information of value Gold, Silver, Fiat, Contracts, crypto, art, Etc. these information are validated through a set of transactions principles which call a Consensus mechanism, this helps to avoid Sybil attacks and ensures security of the records and any transactions that passes it is validated. But the Validated Asset is recorded across hundreds to thousands of book keeping computers know as Validator nodes.

Share through your writing what all you have learned while serving different projects. In that way, it will help the audience relate with the fact that you have considerable exposure of the field.

There are several ways to understand how blockchain works, but what I noticed this far is that the best way for people to really get it, is with examples that touch their everyday life. My dad, when I quit everything for working in the blockchain space, asked me: do you think this is really the future? I replied to him with this example: Imagine that every time you pay taxes you are able to see what is happening with this money, where do they go, for what they are being used and if they are being used right. Blockchain is tamper proof and public, everybody can see what is happening and this will bring more balance in our world. He loved this example and now he totally got why I love this space ??

When it comes to usecase, I stand firmly that Blockchain is part of the solution. I'm more keen on real life applications of Blockchain. A good example is filecoin Blockchain's Inter-planetary File storage (IPFS) and the XRP Ledger's Native DEX. With IPFS one can store data across hundreds of computer rather than one cloud storage. Like the ones we see with big data firms just as records are validated and stored by thousands of computers by DLTs, FileCoin stores information in that manner, making sure it is secure, immutable and tamper-proof. With the XRP Ledger DEX one can trade any Asset. Meaning anything of value is automatically tradable ok the DEX. Users can now create and trade art, payment tokens, tickets, etc automatically.

The beautiful thing of the Web3 space, is that the word “I” has been replaced with the word “we”. The most amazing thing is that people that are part of this ecosystem are happy to help and ready to support! Don’t be scared to ask, you will be surprised of the outcome ?? In this new ecosystem is all about community and leverage together the potential of the technology to make us thrive in this new world that is growing in front of our eyes.

It all starts with a tribe(community). Blockchain is where community building and fostering became a household name in tech. Your leadership is showcased through the communities you’ve built, nurtured and/or engaged or impacted. The whole aim is to increase adoption and the driving force is community. Join communities if you don’t have one and engage them. Collaboration does the magic and it’s the new pathway to growth and thought leadership.

One can not succeed in the Blockchain environment without strong community. Because Blockchain is Decentralized, the community are the ones that showcase ownership and responsibility towards the technology. We build, we debate, we agree to make sure the DLT in use is better than the way we saw it. The Good thing about the resulting community of Blockchains is that everybody wants to help...

We’ve been seeing so many projects growing in the blockchain space in the last two years, but the reality is that most of them are not useful, they are not friendly for the users and they are not solving a problem. My suggestion for anyone that wants to build something using this technology is first of all to think about a real pain that people have and understand how blockchain can solve this problem in a new and innovative way! If you’re a founder make sure to ask for feedback as much as possible, but don’t ask just your mum or BFF, go and look for people that will criticize what you’re building and will offer new perspectives. We have an amazing tech available, let’s use it right to really make an impact ??

We can only make impact with Blockchain if we use this technology to solve real life problems. Beyond the Web3, DeFi, Metaverse, and RWA frenzy, we can create real products that solve the everyday human problem and in turn drawing more usecase and utilities from the real world to Blockchain. The industry is above 14 years, and we just have 350Mn person's involved with it, where 90% of these persons are investors not users. They are 7.5+Bn people who are looking for solutions that Blockchain can offer them one way or the other. They can only be touched if we tailor our Blockchain solutions to real world problems. With real world applications comes global adoption.

I used to work as Technical Manager for Pharma Companies based in the US, living the America dream, but I wasn’t happy with my corporate job. In the last 5 years I learned about blockchain and about the advantages that it could bring in our world, how it could really make a difference in so many people lives. So pushed by the American Dream to bet on myself, I quit everything, I moved to Bali, I leverage my engineering background to be more involved in this space with projects and startups, today I work with one of the major blockchain in the world, I launched an incubator for startups to build OnChain, I’m educating young generations about blockchain and I’ve never been happier in my life. Sky’s not the limit is the start ??

A couple of years back I discovered bitcoin from a distance and as time went on I was getting really fascinated by the tech. To the extent that a created a real world marketplace powered by blockchain technology using the XRP Ledger. It is quite amusing that I did all this while in my Alma Mata and I have not even graduated yet. Today we are building that marketplace, while integrating Blockchain as the value layer of the platform. Users will interact with Blockchain technology for each transaction they place knowing or unknowingly. Allowing use to offer cutting edge security, solutions, transparency and accountability. The solution is clear and precise.
