The World Economic Forum expects 10% of global gross domestic product (GDP) to be stored on Blockchain technology by 2027.

In its report on Technology Tipping Points and Societal Impact (September 2015), The World Economic Forum forecasts that tax will be collected for the first time by a government via a Blockchain by 2025.

Background

Source: Deep Shift – Technology Tipping Points and Societal Impact

The World Economic Forum expects Bitcoin and Blockchain to have the following impacts:

• Increased financial inclusion in emerging markets, as financial services on the Blockchain gain critical mass

• Disintermediation of financial institutions, as new services and value exchanges are created directly on the Blockchain

• An explosion in tradable assets, as all kinds of value exchange can be hosted on the Blockchain

• Better property records in emerging markets, and the ability to make everything a tradeable asset

• Contacts and legal services increasingly tied to code linked to the Blockchain, to be used as unbreakable escrow or programmatically designed smart contracts

• Increased transparency, as the Blockchain is essentially a global ledger storing all transactions

The world is about to experience an exponential rate of change through the rise of Bitcoin and Blockchain technologies.

The Bitcoin & Blockchain Leadership Forum launched in May 2015 and The Bank of England discussed its plans for digital currencies at the inaugural meeting at Allen and Overy’s offices in London.

The mandate of the Bitcoin & Blockchain Leadership Forum is to help society navigate the impact of the shifts to come.

We aim to help broader society navigate the transition to the future Bitcoin and Blockchain world by explaining the changes generated by major Bitcoin and Blockchain trends and the new business models in plain language and through engaging, accessible media, meetings, research services and working groups.

We hope to provide important insights to consider as we navigate the complex issues relating to these changing Bitcoin and Blockchain technologies.

Exploring the New Frontiers of the Blockchain24.06.2015

“ When you do start thinking about it you wonder, why is our existing money the way that it is?”

“ It’s not as direct as ‘bitcoin

replaces cash’; in some cases bitcoin simply wants to be

anotherkind of cash.”

Exploring Blockchain based Smart Contracts23.07.2015

‘Smart contract’ is an inaccurate name:

it’s all about the execution of the obligations that

have already been agreed in the

contract.”

“Having a computer programme that temporarily controls the assets is a genuinely new step forward.”

What people are saying about the Bitcoin & BlockchainLeadership Forum

‘Thanks for encouraging such a great conversation.’

Nathaniel Popper, author of Digital Gold (shortlisted for The Financial Times Business Book of the Year)

‘I had the pleasure of attending the Bitcoin & Blockchain Leadership Forum last month – it was a really valuable event. In fact, I took a lot of the insight I gained at the event back to the Bank – specifically ideas for Blockchain use cases.

For me, these leadership forums are great for tracking developments within the FinTech and Innovation space. I am certain that our Design Office, R&D Teams would gain a lot from attending.
