    William Mougayar, Sonal, Michael

    William Mugayar defines blockchain as a decentralized trust layer that unbundles intermediary functions, arguing that current scalability challenges mirror the pragmatic evolution of the mid-1990s internet. He illustrates the technology's transformative potential through case studies like Open Bazaar and peer-to-peer energy trading, which enable automated microtransactions and bypass centralized platforms to create a machine-payable web. To navigate the innovator's dilemma, Mugayar advises large corporations to appoint a dedicated "blockchain czar" to drive native innovation that eventually renders internal teams obsolete as the technology infiltrates all business units.
