This is part 1 of 5. Parts 2 until 5 will be released in the upcoming days leading to our pre ICO! Read here part 2 and part 3.

A forecast for the next decade and how the blockchain will change our daily lives with a closer look on Edge and education in general.

(Let’s have a look, how drastically education on the blockchain can change the world. This will have a light-hearted touch, so please do not take this as a forecast.)

It’s the end of October 2027 and the people on Mars face an important question. For the first time all 500.000 habitants on the planet are required to vote for something different than their president: their own currency! After using US Dollars, Euros, Chinese Yuan and Bitcoin for half a decade, Mars is ready for a change. From now on until the end of time everything will be paid in either Ethereum or IOTA. While IOTA seems like the clear-cut favorite with no transaction fees and lightning speed, Ethereum still holds immense value due to the smart contracts that allow so much more than only payments.

While Earthlings still use classic currencies, the blockchain completely transformed our lives on this planet as well. Lawyers, banks and other institutes become slowly but surely obsolete. ERC 20 tokens, created on the Ethereum blockchain, are common and rule the business world. Edge has taken it a step further and is now used worldwide for education.

Imagine a world where no one receives their grades on a paper. A paper, that may get lost or damaged, so the student has to pay again to receive a copy. A paper, that has to be translated into several languages and confirmed by notaries, which will cost money again. Instead the student simply receives an private key that gives her/him complete control of the public key that shows all of her/his academic accomplishments.

While this may seem only like a small improvement, a closer look shows us how powerful this will be. By bringing education to the blockchain, we completely tear down borders and shred bureaucracy. Instead of sending papers, mails or other files when one only sends the public key that has all the information stored on it. Imagine finishing your school in Russia and applying for a job in the United States. You no longer need to translate your academic grades, work experience or anything else.

Even further we do not apply for jobs at all anymore. Edgecoin will provide a platform in 2027 (much faster in reality, but let´s stick to the timeframe for this article) where you simply provide your public key. All employers and employees will be listed here and you, and only you!, can decide who will see your profile. Now our unique system matches job offers with qualifications! This will not only help find your dream job, but also help companies find the workers who perfectly fit their need.

Stay tuned for Part 2 and keep up with all the upcoming news about our pre ICO!
