According to Santander, it could save financial institutions $15-20bn a year from 2022 onward. Most experts see an unprecedented potential, but many banks, payment processors and credit card companies fret that bitcoin entrepreneurs could cast a pall over their core business. Whatever the position of blockchain, many voices are shouting from different angles, creating a cacophony of confusion including tech-evangelists, anarcho-libertarians and industry experts. But while everybody in IT and banking seems to have an opinion on the blockchain, there is little systematic research, no strategic analysis. <b><i>Blockchain Babel</i></b> is the ultimate guide to the most disruptive technology to have entered the finance industry in recent years. <p/><b><i>Blockchain Babel</i> </b>looks at blockchain alongside innovation diffusion, competitive dynamics and management strategy. Shortlisted as one of the three best business book proposals by McKinsey and the <i>Financial Times</i> for the Bracken Bower Prize in 2016, this is a must-read for business leaders and aspiring leaders wanting to grasp blockchain and put it into context and understand the practical implications it may have.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The blockchain revolution is ushering in a new internet of value that will transform every industry.
