Its quite possible, or another large corporate legacy system that needs to insulate itself from disruption such as Oracle.

Yea they might try, but eventually FCT can become bigger then oracle. Also its hard to guess the market for it and valuation.
Cause Oracle can also use factom to store data instead of buying factom. This will increase the entry's but not specific the value for
factom the company (beside their current fct holdings).

So i doubt oracle will buy factom, cause they can easly co exsist. Remember factom is open source and everyone can make their software adopt factom and use the factom chain.

What are the concerns with medical records on the block chain and Protected health information?

hashes are stored being a reference to a record, the actual record itself will not be stored on the blockchain
I think this is a pretty succinct description of how blockchains would be used with information that is governed by privacy and other laws.  The interesting part of the technology has nothing to do with what info goes into the Blockchain (existing laws and regulations will be followed) but with how it changes interaction due to change of info control and disintermediation.  In healthcare for example, one often hears of patient/Doctor relationship, which isn't just that today in ANY health system on Earth... With blockchains we have the tech to make it patient <-> Doctor relationship to the fullest.  Whether the tech gets adopted fully in healthcare setting is what we shall see.

Privacy is a much greater concern in the developed world than in the developing world.   Take a country in Africa, where the problem is delivering care effectively, with the records of past treatments per patient.   There is less of a concern about privacy because people are dying, and the infrastructure is a patch work of efforts across possibly a number of NGOs and government programs.

Our focus is on ensuring doctors have the information they need to treat an individual.  Privacy is important, but secondary.

It says waiting for milestone 2. It does not say it s already finished and waiting just for M2. Big difference.

I'm surprised that this doesn't get more attention until now:

Factom secures important paper documents on the blockchain with Smartrac
https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/factom-secures-important-paper-documents-091207833.html

Maybe not the biggest thing right now, but it seems to have some potential.

Indeed and if you read the article list below it is quite impressive. And this is only from the last two months:

This is a big deal, SmartTrac is the largest RFID provider in the world and currently produces 2.6 billion transponders annually and growing. After Dloc integration that number will likely rise and be backed by the Factom blockchain; pretty impressive news past few days or so regardless of what some daytraders on polo think.

Really strange. On the other hand, I m sure if some ass would start a forum thread saying there s some glitch in the Factom, people would dump immediately. Why FUD is always 10x stronger then really good news?

Its because all the FCT tokens are on polo and its easy for people to react to FUD on the spot vs other coins where they are forced to send them from wallets to the exchange and then sell; at which point the price has already dropped. As a result most people wont end participating in the overreaction and will often determine that its all unfounded bashing soon after. Once exodus has FCT inclusion the market will change quite a bit; won't be seeing insanely cheap loans anymore and sells walls will be drying up as shorts will have no excess supply to use.

Yes, there might be something to this hypothesis. People keep coins on Polo cause they have no real alternative and then send them to cheap margin loans which floods the market which cheap coins available for pumps and dumps. How long since testnet started? 2 weeks?
