A blockchain is a distributed database that can decentralize the storage and transfer of valuable information. How it achieves that, what you can store within it, and what you can build on top of such a database is out of scope for this article. What I want to talk about here is relationships, the connective tissue of society, business, and commerce. Technology companies like Salesforce, Microsoft, Amazon, and others make money because they have strong relationships with their partners and customers, and those relationships create ongoing business opportunity, lead to top-line revenue, and bolster bottom-line growth.
