But what happens in those few instances where reversing or updating a transaction is insufficient because the data cannot or should not remain visible in the data history? Donny Shimamoto, Managing Director at IntrapriseTechKnowlogies, shares his insights on the scenarios where absolute immutability can pose a challenge for blockchain adoption. Educating ourselves on the technology and understanding the challenges now will prove beneficial when transitioning to blockchain technologies in the imminent future.
