Part 10/17:
For instance, concepts such as real-time macroeconomic analysis or transparent, tamper-proof ledgers forge new avenues for accountability, efficiency, and trust. The speaker envisions a future where traditional institutions are challenged or replaced by decentralized counterparts—if they do not adapt, they risk obsolescence.

Many breakthroughs in science and technology—Einstein’s theories, the industrial revolution—occur in abrupt shifts. The speaker argues that blockchain and related innovations will follow this pattern, leading to rapid, disruptive transformations.
