yes so blockchain is a new word for the

law it’s uh what it refers to is

distributed Ledger technology which is

is another mouthful uh but the word that

most people have heard of is Bitcoin and

uh so cryptocurrency like Bitcoin uh

like its uh brother technology ethereum

relies I distributed Ledger technology

and it has been around for about 15

years now and has uh blown up into a $2

trillion doll economy believe it or not

the amount of money in cryptocurrency

these days is about the same as the

amount of money in the South Korean

economy so let’s thinking think of it uh

from that perspective blockchain

litigation in cryptocurrency has created

its own digital economy now and there

are entire businesses that are being

built on this digital infrastructure and

so the issues that arise in blockchain

litigation are by and large similar to

the issues that arise in modern

commercial litigation the one

significant difference I think uh would

be the technological knowhow uh that it

takes to uh interpret the transactions

that are occurring within the blockchain

economy and to be able to detect and

proove wrongdoing or negligence
