The Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies continue on their way to become part of our day to day lives and the online communication sector does not want to lose its place. This has been seen during the weekend at the Web Congress 2018 held in Zaragoza (Spain), where we had the pleasure of attending, which in its eighth edition they have included two talks related to the crypto-world.

What is the Web Congress?

The Web Congress is an event organized by Qué Hacer en Zaragoza together with Café con Web, where digital marketing experts from all over Spain meet and share their experiences, news and concerns with topics such as SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Social Media, Design and other sectors related to digital communication.

Cryptocurrencies in Digital Marketing:

Blockchain – Angel Gavín.

Ángel Gavín, Physicist and Mathematician who currently works as a project manager at GMV (Spanish company dedicated to providing technologically advanced solutions) dedicated his speech to share his blockchain knowledge with the attendees and told us his opinion about what this new technology will bring to our day to day lives, where we could reach the following conclusions:

What does blockchain contribute?
  • Decentralization: blockchain is a digital accounting book that records and replicates all of its movements in each of its miners (teams that process transactions and movements in the blockchain), so instead of having a central that collects the information, each one of the miners has all the data of the blockchain, and if one of these miners disappears, the network will continue to function without any problems.
  • The rules are established by the community: These miners who form the blockchain network also have the capacity to decide over it, based on previously established norms.
  • Privacy: Blockchain transactions bring greater privacy (not to be confused with anonymity) where those involved do not need to exchange personal data to perform an operation.
  • Security: Transactions through blockchain are protected with encrypted keys that only interested parties know.
  • Transparency: Blockchain transactions are public and traceable.
  • Smart Contracts: Smart Contracts, introduce some parameters that will only be executed based on whether the fixed events happen or not.
  • Traceability: Traceability are the procedures with which we can follow the evolution of a project in each of its stages, bitcoin’s transparency makes traceability one of its characteristics.

To conclude Angel gave a clarification for people who are beginning to enter the world of Blockchain.

“Blockchain is not bitcoin, bitcoin is a blockchain application”
