Benefits of the Blockchain Technology
The Consensys South African Lead was further asked about the benefits of the Blockchain technology by Tony on the show. Firstly, she stated that Blockchain technology can be used to fight corruption by governments of countries. This could be possible because the technology is decentralized and is accessible by everyone.
She went on to also say the Blockchain technology has made it possible for individuals to be custodian of their assets instead of keeping with banks. Monica states that one could download a mobile application on a mobile phone and buy, sell, hold and spend cryptocurrencies but with traditional banking, one has to walk some miles to resolve issues at the banks among others.
Monica also added how the Blockchain technology has been adopted by Central Banks of Countries of the World which has brought about the development of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in some of the countries of the world.
