Most people who have spent any time in the crypto space are familiar with the “Lambo” meme. It refers to bitcoin enthusiasts’ tendency to buy Lamborghinis as a way of cashing in on the value of their crypto. However, as cryptocurrency pushes into the mainstream a lot more options are becoming available for holders looking to use their coins to buy luxury goods.
Charting the Growth of Cryptocurrencies

For example, Marriott Hotel’s recent breach or the infamous fappening/celebgate that saw celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence have their iCloud hacked.

Some of the most urgent issues facing supply chains can be addressed through blockchain technology, as it provides novel ways to record, transmit and share data.
A supply chain is a network of people and businesses involved in creating and distributing a product or service. It includes everything from the extraction of raw materials to the end consumers who purchase the product or service. A basic supply chain system involves suppliers of materials, manufacturers who turn it into a commodity, the logistics companies that manage the transportation of the raw material and commodities, as well as the final retailers that sell goods to consumers.
