Disrupting the giants - the birth of decentralized platforms
Platforms like Uber, Amazon Mechanical Turk, and UpWork have leveraged digital technologies to arrive at completely new solutions for matching two parties (e.g. Uber drivers to passengers). However, these companies capture all the created value, which could be distributed to platform users themselves. But blockchain is offering a revolutionary solution – a possibility to create a digital marketplace that can be run by the crowds – no hierarchy and fair distribution of profits. How would these decentralized platform organizations look like? How would they be managed? And can they compete with the industry giants? During this talk you will learn about decentralized organizations and get insights into how blockchain technology can be used by platform startups.
