Using blockchain technology will generate about $62 trillion in gross added cost by the mid-2020s according to Credit Suisse. The most interesting and promising directions in the blockchain are those beyond cryptocurrencies: healthcare and medicine, logistics, land registries, government and corporate document flow. Estonia, as a leader in the implementation of electronic government services, together with the blockchain startup Guardtime, implements the creation of a unified database of medical books for the population. Georgia creates a pilot project of a unified register of land plots using blockchain.
