Focus of the Day Article:
Blockchain - It was only back in mid-2015, while speaking at a couple of legal
conferences (one on Client Growth Strategies) to audiences of firm
leaders and CMOs, that I would ask: 'Show of hands, how many of you have
heard of blockchain?' - only to confront an audience that had no idea
what I was talking about. Fortunately, I would speculate that most of
these same folks have now heard of blockchain and have some notion of
what the label refers to . . . but do they really?
