Lack of investor confidence in bank solvency and declines in credit availability led to plummeting stock and commodity prices in late 2008 and early 2009. In late 2008, Bitcoin introduced the concept of decentralized ledge underlying Blockchain Technology. The distributed ledger is theoretically both secure and transparent. There is no need for middlemen like Centralized Bank because everyone knows about the details in the network. Blockchain Technology initially starts with cryptocurrency applications and spreads to other industries like Supply Chain, health care etc.
