A podcast by Manuel Stagars: http://www.theblockchainandus.com

My guest today is Alex Tascott, a writer, speaker, investor and advisor focusing on blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. Alex and Don Tapscott together wrote the best-selling book Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin is Changing Money, Business, and the World. In 2017, Alex and Don founded the Blockchain Research Institute in Toronto, which is a think-tank investigating blockchain strategies, opportunities and use-cases.

We speak about how the blockchain ecosystem has evolved, why companies should understand that blockchains revolutionize their business models, taking blockchain pilots to the next step, the Canadian blockchain scene, and when blockchain technology might be as pervasive as the Internet.
