Kevin Shtofman, Deloitte’s national blockchain real estate leadNEW YORK CITY—“In a nutshell, Blockchain is just today’s database 2.0,” said Deloitte Consulting real estate practice manager Kevin Shtofman. “Think of it as a general ledger that has transaction histories, purchases, sales of assets, finance, data that sits up there on a chain of blocks.”
Each block of information has a unique 32-character, alphanumeric code. Each user has a private 32-character alphanumeric password. Today, it would take a couple of days to hack an eight-letter password. But to hack a blockchain would take 700 million years, according to Shtofman.
