According to the renowned billionaire venture capitalist Tim Draper, decentralization is revolutionizing the currency systems around the world using the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Bitcoin. Bitcoin, riding on the decentralization is “converging with another technology that is also going to have a big impact – which is artificial intelligence.” Draper added:

Those technologies now have the ability to transform the biggest industries in the world. It is not just currency. It is banking and finance, insurance, real estate, healthcare, government. All those industries all in the trillions of dollars, they are hugely valuable, have the potential to be transformed by these new technologies.
