The Next Step: How Blockchain Could Disrupt Uber, Airbnb, and iTunes
Don Tapscott explains how the Blockchain could replace services like Uber and Airbnb. Other experts asked by CoinTelegraph explain further.
During the recent World Economic Forum (WEF) held in Davos, Switzerland, 'Blockchain Revolution' author, Don Tapscott, suggested that the Bitcoin technology could disrupt worldwide services like Uber and Airbnb.
In his words:
"Why do you need a 60 million dollar corporation called Uber? You can have a real sharing economy which it would be a distributed application on the Blockchain [...]. The driver just posts an information on the Blockchain, if you need a car you post it there, and the payment system is built automatically. The same is for Airbnb. And this system could be built by small companies".

Ascribe co-founder, Masha McConaghy, said:
"Blockchain technology is definitely disruptive. For me, the beauty of it is that people can have a choice and choose what is right for them. Blockchain technology is all about empowering the individual. Equal opportunity. It is all about building up, not tearing down. Larger older players are adopting Blockchain technology too, and this can be a good thing because the decentralized nature means single large players are no longer controlling the ecosystem."
