Norma Krayem of Van Scoyoc Associates predicts that blockchain technology will become seamlessly integrated into daily life within 35 years.
The technology is expected to operate invisibly in the background across various sectors:
- Healthcare record management
- Supply chain operations
- Daily transactions
This shift represents a move toward ambient blockchain integration, where users interact with the technology without actively realizing it - similar to how most people use the internet today without thinking about TCP/IP protocols.
Do you need to know when you’re using a blockchain? Norma Krayem of Van Scoyoc Associates says in 3–5 years, you won’t even realize you're using it, from healthcare records to supply chains.
