2015년 말에 올렸던 골드만삭스의 블록체인 보고서입니다.
블록체인만을 다룬 보고서는 아니고 미래에 유망한 기술중 하나로 다루었습니다. 이 때 블록체인이 모든 것을 바꿀 수 있는 혁명적인 기술로 평가하였습니다.
From Silicon Valley to Wall Street, technologists and investors alike are buzzing about the potential for the Blockchain to revolutionize … well everything. The hype is high and the potential is real but roadblocks remain. The funding backdrop is healthy and the application eco-system is growing. Once considered the underlying pipes of Bitcoin, this technology is quickly taking center stage from its crypto-currency parent promising an ushering in of a new set of tools to cut costs and challenge the profit pool of the middle-man with a promise to make centralized institutions obsolete.
이후 육개월이 흐른 이후 새로운 보고서를 내놓았습니다. 추상적인 토론을 그만하고 현실에 적용할 수 있는 방법을 찾아 실행하자고 합니다.
Blockchain: Putting from theory to practice
Is the hype around blockchain justified? Since Bitcoin introduced the world to the concept of secure distributed ledgers, much has been written about their potential to address other business problems. But the discussion often remains abstract, focusing on the opportunity to decentralize markets and disrupt middlemen. In the latest in our Profiles in Innovation series, we shift the focus from theory to practice, examining seven real-world applications of blockchain, such as enhancing trust in the Sharing Economy

골드만삭스 보고서가 제시한 사례는 크게 다섯가지입니다. 공유경제, 전기산업, 부동산, 청산결제시장, 자금세탁관리 등입니다. 88쪽의 보고서이므로 각 사례별로 자세한 분석을 담고 있습니다.
Sharing Economy: Building trust on platforms like Airbnb
Electricity Market: Letting houses generate and sell their own electricity
Property: cutting admin costs
Securities: Cut out errors, thereby reducing costs
Finance: Improve anti-money laundering and “know your customer” checks
골드막삭스 보고중 현실에 적용할 때 해결할 과제중 첫번째로 표준화를 내세우고 있습니다.
Standards : We expect many special-purpose permissioned blockchains to be created for a wide variety of applications. To gain widespread adoption, we believe technical standards will be needed to ensure similar technical implementations across industries
– particularly in cases where multiple blockchains need to interoperate with each other.
