In this podcast recorded on February 16th, 2024, Blockchain Journal editor-in-chief David Berlind interviews Christopher Concheri, founder of Concheri Consulting, during a Boston Blockchain Association event at the Suffolk University campus in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. During one of the event's panel discussions, Concheri expressed concern over the way blockchain is often inextricably conflated with cryptocurrency in a way that many people cannot appreciate the non-crypto applications of blockchain as an application platform.

Concheri sees the need to differentiate between the two technologies. He argues that while cryptocurrency may dominate headlines, blockchain's potential extends far beyond crypto, with broader applications in various industries. Concheri also discusses the challenges that result from this over-association such as an ongoing hindrance to blockchain's widespread adoption.

Throughout the interview, Concheri shares insights into non-crypto applications of blockchain, including its role in enhancing security, enabling fractionalization of assets, and facilitating record-keeping for transactions. He offers examples of blockchain's ability to support lending platforms, emphasizing its potential to disrupt traditional approaches to finance.
