In the human evolution, the man evolved alongside society in a series of revolutions that led to great improvements on all domains: cultural, social, industrial, etc.Today we are living what futurologist as Alvin Toffler in "Future Shock" and more recently Michael Dertouzos in "What Will Be: How the New World of Information Will Change Our Lives" anticipated more than 20, respectively 50 years ago.They imagined a world in which the information technology is based on learning.Today, technological singularity is no longer just a concept, it's a reality.The technical and scientific progress that has materialized in real revolutions has recorded not only a one-way amplification movement, but perhaps even an acceleration.Today, on the 30th anniversary of the World Wide Web, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become not only a neo-factor of production for most businesses but the indispensable factor of any activity.This is the context in which a new technological revolution -the Blockchain revolution -takes place in the face of an "apparent financial crisis" in 2008-2009 and a lower level of confidence.The advantages of this technology, coupled with another relatively modern development (as an implementation, not as a concept) of ICT, namely cloud computing, are now leading to increasingly spectacular solutions in the digital economy, electronic money, e-Government, or electronic citizen (e-citizen).In this paper we will be able to deal with the impact of the two technologies in the context of the digital economy, materialized in at least two paradigms: Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) and Blockchain as a Cloud (BaaC).
