Since the blockchain can transmit many types of valuable data, finance is not the only area that will see benefits from the technology.

There are organizations, such as blockchain for good and blockchain for science, who are leveraging blockchain technology in ways that benefit all of humanity. Stanford keeps a google document with a list of such projects: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14BPQIqnDUTyinkp9eJ7bwYwsg22RJz0AVU9vOSSU94o/edit#gid=1835238919

We are all also familiar with the UN World Food Program using blockchain to track and help feed Syrian refugees, and the UN/Microsoft ID2020 program, which aims to equip millions of people with a digital ID.

If you were to start a blockchain company aimed at improving the world, what would you choose? Which problems would you address? What would you consider worth the effort?
