    Okay there is no Amazon Blockchain that I know of and the internet is not broken but what if?

    Would this be the start of an actual global digital economy/currency or an expansion of Bitcoin underpinned by the world's largest online stores? Would global currencies be impacted? Would governments and other traditional organisations scramble to defend their established industries?

    The Future of Blockchain and Global Finance

    Would Blockchain be allowed to change the world?

    What do you think?
