Introduction

Blockchain is a revolutionary technology that allows secure and transparent record-keeping of transactions without the need for intermediaries. Every blockchain is a distributed ledger technology (DLT), but every DLT is not a blockchain.

The first-ever Bitcoin transaction in 2009 was used to purchase two pizzas, which cost 10,000 bitcoins at the time and would be worth over $600 million today. Would you be able to digest such a pizza?

The author was honored on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2022 list for his work in helping smallholder and marginal farmers with the use of blockchain technology.
