        abstract = {When bitcoin was unleashed on the world it filled a specific need for a digital currency. It wasn't long before people realised the technology behind Bitcoin i.e.-the blockchain could do much more than just record monetary transactions. This realisation has developed into an array of startup companies, initiatives, corporate alliances, and research projects.
