Introduction to datamining - Discussion

In chapter 3, the author describes eight core functions of the global financial service sector which blockchain technology will likely change. Create a new thread, choose one of the core functions described in chapter 3, and explain why it is important in moving today’s economy forward, and provide at least two real examples of the chosen core function being changed by blockchain technology today.

Then think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread. The questions should be taken from material you read in Chapter 1, 2, or 3. You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion.

Finally, go to three other students’ threads and post comments, answering at least one of their questions.

You must do the following:

1) Create a new thread. As indicated above, choose one of the core functions described in chapter 3, explain why it is important in moving today’s economy forward, and provide at least two real examples of the chosen core function being changed by blockchain technology today. Then think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread. The questions should be taken from material you read in Chapter 1. You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion.

2) Select AT LEAST 3 other students' threads and post substantive comments on those threads. Your comments should answer AT LEAST one of the questions posed in the thread and extend the conversation started with that thread. Make sure that you include the question in your comment so I can see what question you’re answering.

ALL original posts and comments must be substantive. (I'm looking for about a paragraph - not just a short answer.)
