Investing in Blockchain Platforms Can Lead to Multi-dimensional Wealth

What are Blockchain and Bitcoin? How does this impact, Impact investing? The first question often arises even though they have been around for over 10 years when Satoshi Nakamoto introduced Bitcoin in 2008 to address the double-spend issue in payments. Blockchain is open-source software that essentially is a unique type of database. Bitcoin is a digital asset known as a cryptocurrency that uses Blockchain - think the internet of value. What makes blockchain unique is the encrypted data written to blocks that are transparent, immutable, and audit-able. This is confusing to many, as Bitcoin and Blockchain are thought to be synonymous.

In this episode of the Global Investor Podcast Blockchain expert, Diana Adachi joins host Karim Nurani to discuss Impact Investing and its relation to Blockchain and Bitcoin.

About Our Guest

As a Blockchain expert and experienced executive, I am fortunate to work with both innovative emerging companies and the largest corporations in the world applying my passion while also supporting under-served markets. Previously, as a Global Blockchain Lead for Accenture, I spearheaded the due diligence on Ripple where the firm subsequently made an investment. Blockchain is about collaboration and inclusiveness. The World Economic Forum considers it to be a foundational platform for the 4th Industrial Revolution.

Since the late ‘90s I have participated in multiple payment innovations including Blockchain and cryptocurrencies. I was recognized as Payment Source's Most Influential Women in Payments 2017 for my work in Blockchain. Being a global executive and entrepreneur, I had the opportunity to lead teams in NA, APAC and the UK. My expertise lies in building cross-cultural teams that scale operations and drive revenue. Open to board opportunities.
