    Blockchain and Internet of Things technologies hold the promise to transform our societies and economies. While IoT devices allow us to measure all kinds of activity by humans and machines, the blockchain allows us to securely time-stamp and value this data and even give it a price to trade it on (new) markets. We explore this potential with a specific focus on sustainable development.

    After being in the blockchain space since 2013, it’s interesting to look back and see how far things have grown, both in the business use of blockchain as well as the development in the cryptocurrency space. I remember when only a tiny percentage of the technologies that were publicly known introduced anything innovative to the code initially introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto. While a lot of these projects still exist today where modifications are as small as modifying the total amount of tokens…

    After being in the blockchain space since 2013, it’s interesting to look back and see how far things have grown, both in the business use of blockchain as well as the development in the cryptocurrency space. I remember when only a tiny percentage of the technologies that were publicly known introduced anything innovative to the code initially introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto. While a lot of these projects still exist today where modifications are as small as modifying the total amount of tokens existing on the blockchain, there has been a large growth in the amount of innovative projects around the space, with more and more being introduced as interest in the technology grows.

  • Why "Puffery" is Bad for Your Brand's Reputation

    Search Engine Journal

    As marketers, we’re expected to create a certain level of interest around the brands we promote or represent. We can do this by fixing certain negative perceptions, promoting the positive ones, making sure it’s in the minds of potential clients or customers, and a myriad of other ways.

    However, it’s a common misconception that marketing requires puffery – or exaggerating or twisting facts in an attempt to boost interest in the brand.

    However, it’s a common misconception that marketing requires puffery – or exaggerating or twisting facts in an attempt to boost interest in the brand.

    Still, this form of marketing hype creeps into marketing strategies one way or another, for both large and small brands, and either intentionally or unintentionally.

The innovative solution presented was cross-chain identity verification.
