How is the research coming along?

I'm curious about your focus on 'dematerialization' -- there is a specific economic definition of the term
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dematerialization_(economics) (i.e. doing more with less)
as well as securities-related definition:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dematerialization_(securities) (move from paper to in ledger bookkeeping)

Could you please tell us more about the nature of your research and what you hope to achieve?

Best of luck.

I think of bitcoin as a sort of currency. I buy things with it, and if the price goes up, I'm happy. Everything becomes cheaper for me. Bitcoin has a fraction-of-a-cent TX fee, as compared to western union's $5 TX fee, and its safe than PayPal, sure to its decentralization. And also less scams, as there is no bitcoin chargeback.

about the less scams part. I think you can not really sure about that without a escrow service. Without it there will be a lot of scams as bitcoin is untracable and unrecoverable

currently I only use the Bitcoin as an investment vehicle but not to make the purchases.  but when I must, i sometimes use the bitcoin. another reason for using the bitcoin is its decentralized form, by that I can use it wherever I am, cause no government owns it and therefore no taxes. Also its high potential to take over the world is a great determinant,. i love being part of change
