Bitcoin, heralded by many as the single biggest breakthrough since the arrival of the internet, has proved to be something of a moving target since its launch in 2009. However, it continues to be the focus of significant investment and innovation with the industry predicting that more than $1 billion in venture capital funding will have been invested in bitcoin and its future by the end of 2015. http://www.barclayscorporate.com/content/dam/corppublic/corporate/Documents/insight/blockchain_understanding_the_potential.pdf Title: Re: [2015-07-24] Barclays - Blockchain: understanding the potential Post by: Kprawn on July 26, 2015, 08:43:20 AM The "Blockchain" is the buzz these days.... everyone wants a piece of it, just as long as it's not connected to "Bitcoin". These vultures is going to pick it apart, and leave us with
the bare bones. We have a bit of an advantage, but they have the financial backing of our money in the banks and the "Magic money" being printed by the Reserve banks. They will get government backing for their newly created, and sanitized version of the "Blockchain" and Bitcoin will not be able to compete on a level playing field. In some countries, governments are already slowing Bitcoin, with their stupid regulations.. >:( >:( >:( >:( |
