This module is about leadership for this second era of the Internet, it's an era that's changed by blockchain technologies. Blockchain alone is a tool. It's humans that build value, creating businesses and solve social problems. Technology doesn't do that. Humans need to lead for this technology to fulfill its long-term promise. Blockchains must be self-governed through collaborations of civil society, private sector, governments and stakeholders in non-state networks or networks that are not controlled by nation states. State-based institutions can't lead through regulations alone. By the end of this module, you'll be able to explain the difference between regulation and government on the one hand, and governance on the other. Blockchain expertise lies with developers and users, not with government bureaucrats and regulatory bodies. So we need to educate the full field of stakeholders from governments to individuals, on the scope of this disruption and about the block chains ability to unleash capability across different sectors. So we're going to check out some of the key issues, the trade offs and the scenarios related to blockchain and regulation. Some current regulations apply to blockchain use, lots more don't, and there's no framework in place to fill the gap. But you'll also learn about how the regulation of the Internet of information was governed and you'll get insights into how we might regulate and govern blockchain on a global scale. You'll be able to identify different layers of the block chain technology stack that need governance, and you'll understand how these layers affect the whole challenge of stewarding this resource. We'll discuss the idea of block chain governance networks. This is a term that we've developed, and how they can support blockchain leadership and stewardship at three levels. One is the platform level, where you find crypto currencies and other digital assets like Bitcoin. At the application level, that's where you'll find standards that need to be coordinated for the development of apps that actually change businesses and events in the real world. At the ecosystem level, we'll see leaders shape the future of the technology overall. In all, you're going to learn what conditions are necessary for a blockchain based hub of innovation in a given country to succeed, and that's really important. For preview of the leadership that we need check out the new preface to the paperback edition of our book 'Blockchain Revolution' as well as chapter 11.
