Integrating blockchain with legacy applications In chapter 12, the author introduces issues to address when integrating blockchain apps with legacy applications. Which of the differences between blockchain and legacy systems discussed in chapter 12 do you think would be the one that carries the most risk? How could this risk be realized? (Give at least 2 examples). Briefly describe how you would address this risk in your blockchain app design. Think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and      add these to the end of your thread. Do not plagiarize!! Use your own words. To reach that goal, we will adhere to the 3CQ model. After posting each thread, you will post at least 3 comments on other students’ threads, and each comment must conform to the 3CQ model (Compliment, Comment, Connect, Question). This model encourages discussions that extend class learning and participation. Here is a description of the 3CQ model: 1.            Compliment – Start off positive. Compliment the person on something specific you have read or observed in the person’s blog post.  For example: Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I really liked … 2.            Comment – Comment on something relevant and meaningful about what the person wrote. Be specific! Remember your comment might not always be agreement. You can “politely” disagree.  For example:    I agree with you about … I respect your opinion, but I think … 3.            Connect – Connect with something the person wrote (Text-to-Self, Text-to-Text, Text-to-World). Explain your connection with details giving your audience a clear idea of what you’re talking about by using sensory details.   For example: I can connect with you about … I once read a story about … I had the same thing happen to me… 4.            Question - Ask a specific question about something written or the writer. Keep the conversation going!
