Bitcoin and Blockchain: What's the difference?

The Confusion

Are Bitcoin and blockchain the same thing? No, they aren’t. However, they are closely related. When Bitcoin was released as open source code, blockchain was wrapped up together with it in the same solution. And since Bitcoin was the first application of blockchain, people often inadvertently used “Bitcoin” to mean blockchain. That’s how the misunderstanding started. Blockchain technology has since been extrapolated for use in other industries, but there is still some lingering confusion.




Thank you.

The Inspiration

Trade commodity and finance is still based on the exchange of paper documents and processes that haven’t changed much since the foundation of trader Dutch East India Company in 1602. On average, it will take 11-14 days to complete a commodity transaction from buyer to seller with high risk of fraud and human errors and also costly.

How It Works

Through the digitisation of documents (contracts, letters of credit as well as government inspections and certifications) and blockchain technology, all parties involved in the transactions (buyer, seller, bank, government agencies) are able to complete the transaction within 4 days with cost reduction between 25 to 30%.

The Inspiration
Solar and wind energy are both renewable and do not produce any carbon emissions, which is essential an era where climate-change mitigation is a desperate need. But they also both require far more area than fossil-fuel energy sources. In fact, a fossil-fuel power plant is typically less than a tenth the size of a solar farm producing the same amount of energy.

How It Works
Norwegian energy giant Statoil launched the world’s first floating wind farm off the coast of Scotland. Nifty software keeps the turbines upright by twisting blades in response to the motions of the wind, waves, and ocean currents.

The Inspiration
To empower anyone to be an artist and express themselves through technology. The company (ShiftWear) intention was to let people to have their own customized product suited to their personal preferences, without the current limitations which exist in the market.

How It Works
Put e-paper* displays on both sides of sneakers and let users’ and designers’ creative juices flow. Changing what’s on display is as easy as changing your smartphone’s wallpaper, using a smartphone app to let users select their desired design, either of their own making or from a marketplace. The built-in batteries will last up to 30 days, depending on the type of visuals you display.
Not only can you be up-to-date with current fashion or making your own fashion statement, you could earn money simply by being a walking advertisement ‘panel’ in the future.

* E-paper or e-ink is a great technology for low-power screens that are also eye-friendly because of how little energy they consume to maintain the image currently on their display. The Gif attachment shows how the design changes on the shoe itself.
