The Cognitive Blockchain: A Theoretical Approach Towards Removing the Barriers to Blockchain Scalability and Deployment

Abstract

This paper explores a theoretical approach based on the newly emerging science of General Collective Intelligence (GCI) which suggests that the concept of a "cognitive blockchain" can reliably create the capacity to exponentially increase the scalablity, decentralization, security, and any other architectural service level characteristics of blockchain platforms simultaneously. This paper also explores why the cognitive blockchain is suggested to have the potential to exponentially increase the use of blockchain technology and the market capitalization of blockchain based cryptocurrencies.
