We're used to hearing how the blockchain is going to revolutionize the future: everything from how we own money to how democracies and voting work. These use cases are great, but what about right now? This talk explores how the blockchain is already making our world a better place & even saving lives. Alex Linebrink is a Detroit-based serial financial tech entrepreneur, currently the CEO of Passage Inc (powering ticketing and payments for thousands of events around the world), an internationally recognized blockchain evangelist, and a drone enthusiast. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
