Manage episode 413820013 series 2951294
From product verification and quality management to smart contracts and financial clarity, blockchain is a technology solving a variety of data-centric issues.
In this episode of Digital Transformers, our host Kevin L. Jackson presents Digital Asset Innovators – a series from the National DigiFoundry that aims to highlight those individuals and organizations that are innovating across the digital asset ecosystem.
Joining for this episode are Bryant D. Nielson and Ryan Williams – two experts at the very heart of blockchain progress. Discussions kick off with the inherent association of blockchain with Bitcoin in the public eye, despite cryptocurrencies being just one single application among many. “It's impressive. It is impactful. But it's not the whole forest. Blockchain is the forest,” Nielson explains.
The guest speakers then turn their attention to the need to bring blockchain into the educational mainstream, providing students with knowledge to code smart contracts and develop tangible, in-demand skillsets. Further, Nielson and Williams also highlight the potential opportunity to tokenize and gamify learning, leveraging shortening attention spans and the societal drive towards digital dopamine hits for educational purposes.
With the spotlight on blockchain-based learning growing, both interviewees also outline the importance of standardizing qualifications and certifications. Here, The Blockchain Academy is leading the charge, working with the American National Standards Institute to develop assessments that accurately align qualifications with knowledge bases.
From exploring the future potential of tokenized assets to identifying how NFTs can transform the protection of key data such as health records or birth certificates, tune in for insight into the full potential of blockchain technologies.
