Several enterprises have developed services that let individuals and businesses use cryptocurrencies as loan collateral.
Currently, the value of all the bitcoin in the world is $154 billion. And, Bitcoin is only the most well-known cryptocurrency in the global economy. If we combine the value of bitcoin with other cryptocurrencies with a market cap of at least $1 billion, such as ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple, the total value comes to approximately $210 billion.

Why Decentralization is Important
The internet is currently centralized. Centralization refers to a structure where one or a small number of entities control an entire network. At the moment, a small number of technology companies exert the most control over the internet and are powerful enough to set industry standards.

The first blockchain phone call took place last October with a prototype developed by Function X, a new decentralized internet service framework. Now the prototype has been refined and is nearly ready for public release. The phone is dubbed “BOB,” which stands for “Blok On Blok.” BOB will be compatible with Android 9.0 and users will be able to switch between Android and blockchain modes on their phones.
How Blockchain Can Improve Mobile Service
BOB has its own blockchain operating system or OS, called Function X or f(x). When BOB is set to blockchain mode, every bit of data sent through the phone is executed through a blockchain, which makes BOB the first truly blockchain-powered phone in the world. …
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.
As supply chains have become global, the simple network of suppliers, manufacturers and retailers described above has developed into a complex environment where various products and materials move through multiple stages managed by different parties and geographically distinct processes. Thus, supply chain management involves integrating sourcing, procurement, manufacturing, distribution, and logistics into a cohesive system. …
