Chained Together: How Blockchain is Improving Supply Chains

Chained Together: How Blockchain is Improving Supply Chains

Chained Together: How Blockchain is Improving Supply Chains is an online event organized by the Boston Blockchain Association.

Blockchain is radically improving supply chains by making products easier to track, from the raw materials to the finished goods.

Imagine a world where you’ll be able to see not just where your coffee was grown or your iPhone was assembled, but every step in the process, all recorded on a transparent blockchain.

This has huge implications for everything from fair trade and fair wages, to making companies and governments far more efficient.

The Boston Blockchain Association has put together a distinguished panel of supply chain and blockchain experts to give all a state of where the industry stands today, including:

Leanne Kemp, CEO and Founder of Everledger: Perhaps the most well-known blockchain + supply chain project in the world, Everledger started as an immutable ledger for diamond identification and transaction verification — and has grown into a platform for measuring the “value chain” of everything from rare earth metals to designer handbags:

Anndy Lian, Intergovernmental Blockchain Expert talks about “Crypto Investments” with Former CNBC Reporter

Cryptocurrencies are here to stay. These digital assets are going to be a permanent feature of banks and asset managers’ investment portfolios in time to come. Newer terms such as DeFI (Decentralised Finance) is also changing the investment landscape by relying on a central authority to distribute the loans, etc. Blockchain technology has provided the technical workings for cryptocurrencies. While it looks promising there is also the risk of trading cryptocurrencies. It is volatile and susceptible to technical glitches, human error or hacking.

Anndy Lian, an inter-governmental blockchain advisor and entrepreneur will explain what is cryptocurrencies and insights into this new market. This show is hosted by Rajeev Aggarwal, a former stock market reports at CNBC.

“Understand crypto before putting your money in. You need to study their business model, revenue streams, team members and the underlying technology. If you believe in what the project is doing and you understand the risk, then you go for it. Always exercise with caution.” Anndy Lian commented.

Anndy Lian also commented that community support is another important factor for a cryptocurrency to work. Anndy mentioned this offline to Blockcast.cc reporter that meme coins are really popular, projects like DOGECOIN and SHIBA INU are gaining good traction. PANCAKE and SAFEMOON for instance are trending consistently for a long while. He emphasised that spotting the trends is one important factor in investing.

“Invest in multiple baskets. Do not put all your eggs in one basket” is the message Anndy is trying to convey. The importance of diversification is more glaring when it comes to crypto investment. By spreading out your options between “Top 5 coins”, “Active Trading Coins” and “Rising Stars” for example, you can decrease your financial risk.
