The Bitcoinist Open Data Paradigm
Decentralizing financial data through open-source platforms profoundly furthered financial research and technological innovation. By removing barriers to entry around core information sets, decentralization attracted myriad specialists whose collective insights yielded major advancements unachievable within closed paradigms.
A significant correlation exists between industries with technological advancement, a quantum-level research focus, and the extent to which industry data is made open source. Mass data analysis of financial transactions, facilitated by bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, made possible by transparency, sparked breakthrough financial trading innovations.
Thus medical data must follow suit through responsible anonymization and public accessibility. Enabling external experts to investigate interconnected human health phenomena may transform medicine into an equally sophisticated, granular, and technologically advanced domain on par with finance. Closed medical paradigms restrict research to siloed institutions employing outdated techniques. But open data ecosystems tap collective intelligence to elevate medicine to unprecedented frontiers.
