These days we see a lot of ICOs aiming at "solving" unexisting problems. Such tokens never get to make their way to listing on VHCEx as we take a rigorous approach towards selecting the coins to be traded on the exchange. If you visit crypto events a lot, you've probably heard something like juniors' football school on blockchain, medicine, construction, you name it. However, below are the main industries where the technology may be applied effectively with hefty reasons for it.
Global exchange of monetary value digitally
Well, this is what you do every day on VHCEx and other exchanges, or when you send money to the relatives overseas. Before the emerging and proliferation of blockchain, transferring money or securities had always been associated with the participation of private intermediaries to validate ownership rights and effect the transaction. Thus, those third parties needed to be trusted by the transaction participants.
Blockchain introduced the tokens that are deemed 'trustless', meaning that they do not need a third-party verification in order for a transaction to get executed - the only trust necessary is the one for the consensus achievement protocol. In other words, blockchain serves as both the validator and executor.
Authentification of the data and concomitant records stored digitally
These days, digital realm stores more value than all the paper in the world combined and we, human, are now heavily reliant on secure digital storage of these data. Blockchain is perfectly capable of effective tracking of modifications inserted into documents in terms of timing and authors, while also easily spotting any form of fraudulent tampering. That is made possible by the very nature and utility of hash function, as it takes a variable of the data input and transforms it into a pre-determined alphanumerical output that only the given blockchain protocol can reopen in its original data form.
