Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference Baku to reveal why universities give blockchain lectures and why Azerbaijan is interested in this 

There are a lot of rumors about blockchain: some experts describe it as an innovative technology allowing to get rid of corruption; others believe that the demand is artificial. Certain companies are efficiently applying the technology, while others are leaving money on the table. Why is it happening? How does blockchain provide business with profit? Why is it considered to be the technology of the future?
