Bitcoin, the Blockchain, and Insurance Disruption

MONTRÉAL, QC, TORONTO, ON –– June 12, 2018

You have heard about Blockchain and Bitcoin, but maybe you’re not quite sure what all of this has to insurance disruption.  Vertafore’s Ben Deda breaks it down in his article Bitcoin, the Blockchain, and Insurance Disruption
