As an early stage venture capital investor in the creative industries, when institutional investors or family offices three or four years ago asked us what the blockchain was, and what it meant in the context of media and entertainment, we used simplistic descriptions like “an enormous and continuously growing Google Doc”, or a “spreadsheet in the sky with a deposit box in the cloud”. Today most people know that the blockchain is a peer to peer, collaborative, distributed, transparent ledger of everything for the Internet of everything. Effectively, a database on steroids with big hopes and possibly a bigger potential.
