SUMMARY:Make Blockchain Cool Again
DESCRIPTION:Birds of a Feather\n\nMake Blockchain Cool Again\n\nBratanova,
  Atherton\n\nSince the invention of Bitcoin in 2008, the underlying blockc
 hain technology caught the attention of businesses and governments around 
 the world. Venture capital funding in blockchain grew from US$2 million in
  2012 to over $4.5 billion in 2018. Blockchain opportunities have been inv
 estigated by all industries around the world and in Australia. It is expec
 ted that 10% of global GDP will be stored on blockchain by 2027. But with 
 opportunity comes risk. Blockchain technology has also created new cyber s
 ecurity threats, scams, privacy concerns, market disruption and major regu
 latory challenges. \nNumerous organisations actively explore the solutions
  to help decision makers navigate through the complexity of risks and oppo
 rtunities of blockchain technology. The gap in knowledge and understanding
  of the technology by businesses, governments and broader community is one
  of the major barriers to the blockchain technology adoption.\nIn this ses
 sion we will discuss how visualization and computer graphic tools, ideas a
 nd approaches can help bridge this gap and make blockchain easier to under
 stand for various groups of developers, adopters and users. This field cru
 cially required new hand-on interactive ways to teach blockchain users the
  principles and implications of the distributed nature of blockchain trans
 actions. This novel domain for computer graphics and visualization with po
 tential market applications will be discussed in our BOF session.\n\nRegis
