    Blockchain technology can do that -

    You may block it or you may build it up, and still, it rises... a lot faster than you think.

    "Most people think that blockchains are just about cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and that they're difficult to understand… You need to understand how blockchains work and what their core limitations are, because they'll be integrated into many everyday online interactions (in the next 5 to 10 years)"… particularly in a Virtual Practice space or project teams collaborating across a geographical zone, time zone, including businesses in parts unknown - where you equally trust and mistrust every person within your project's framework.

    In under 20 minutes, I will share how blockchain technology allows transactions to occur without trust, when a real estate developer, virtual practice, VDC team, and construction contracts run on blockchain technology. I'll also be chairing the BIM & Digital Construction Summit on Sept 20th Friday:
