Blockchain expert and political scientist Bettina Warburg explains how the future of economy will be decentralized as humans become better at gathering data. In this talk, Warburg explains how blockchain will enhance global trade and evolves age-old models of commerce and finance, ushering us into “a golden age of supply chain innovation” and borderless trade. Countries could soon find themselves in a sea of opportunity as Warburg explores the possibilities of tying trade to distributed digital ledgers and how that would change world economy. Perhaps just as importantly, she will explain how humans tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate its effect in the long run.
