Blockchain technology is already radically changing the way businesses operate, and those using and working with WordPress are no exception to this. It’s now become a matter of “when” and not “if” blockchain will disrupt WordPress and the business models that WordPress supports, and we need to be prepared for both the threats and the opportunities we’ll be presented with.
In this session, I will be discussing the possible applications of the blockchain, such as e-commerce payment gateways, identity management, and content monetisation.
As blockchain is inherently open source, the blockchain hype cycle could also have great influence over the popularity of WordPress. And so, in addition to exploring the big questions surrounding security and licensing, I will also be looking at the future possibilities of where WordPress and blockchain can go next.
