ciappa,
I don't quite know if you worded your above post correctly. First you say "Veritaseum is an interesting project." Then you follow on with "you are not sure of the reason for Veritaseum." Did you conduct any due-diligence on Veritaseum?
Perhaps a short review for you may be in order.
What is Veritaseum?
Veritaseum builds blockchain-based, peer-to-peer capital markets as software on a global scale. We enable the seamless connection of parties and assets without the need for a third or authoritarian interest.
Any entity with internet access can participate in these capital markets on a peer-to-peer and one-on-one basis.
Veritaseum is a highly disruptive revolution in finance, investment and value. It uses blockchain technology, smart contracts and distributed computing to aid industries and entities suffering from high economic rents, undue friction and gross inefficiencies. Describing Veritaseum is actually very simple, but that description is often frustrated by:
Lingering concepts of the legacy institutional business models that Veritaseum seeks to disintermediate;
Ingrained prejudices towards leaps in technological capabilities, particularly in the first industry that we're moving to disrupt - finance.
At it's simplest, Veritaseum is the gateway to peer-to-peer capital markets. It allows any two or more individuals to deal directly with each other in transactions of value without reliance on centralized or authoritative third parties. They can do this without concern for credit or counter-party risk. Phenomenal, right? Of course, this begs the question... How is this done? Let's start with how it's not done. Veritaseum is not a broker, a fund, a bank or an exchange. It is distributed, serverless software!
