Lightning Network and the new opportunities for managing cashflow timescales with streaming money and salaries, incoming inventory, selling goods, just-in-time delivery, credit etc. Streaming money integration into media. Digital rights management (DRM). One of the first demonstrations was a video streaming service (https://streamium.io/), which billed based on the number of minutes watched. Videos, educational courses, any time-based service can be transformed using this technology. The basic rule of DRM is that it doesn’t work, because if my eyes can see it or my ears can hear it, so can a camera and microphone. It doesn’t change piracy; it allows artists and content creators to connect directly with their audience rather than relying on centralised aggregation platforms.

Blockchains and micro-finance products in developing economies. Improving access to infrastructure. The exponential curve.

  1. So he says basically the Banks now a creating there own demise. I can transfer money for free from me to any person I know. From bank to bank. No one talks about this. He constantly talks about the guys in third world countries and the bank in their hand. They don’t have any money to put in a bank do they? First thing needed is to correct that or this whole idea goes in the trash.

  2. The main task of central banks is to modify the money in circulation in order to calm and prevent boosts by reducing cash and then supoort the economy when in crisis by increasing money supply. Bitcoin and other cryptocurencies have a steady supply regardless of the cycle of the economy. This inability to modify the supply of cash in circulation is what obliged us to abandon the gold standard. Therefore while blockchain may revolutionise the backbone of money exchanges i do not see how it would allow cryptocureencies to take over and replace banks and central banks.
    Moving to bitcoin would essentially cripple any innovation we have done to prevent crisis since the avandoning of the gold standard.
    I am sure i must br missing something in my logic as someone must have thought of this allready. Could you please explain to me where the flaw is in my logic?

  3. I am concerned that as soon as bitcoin ETFs get created, bitcoin will be traded on paper just like gold is today. They can and will try and drive the price down just like they do with gold and the bitcoin price will be kept artificially low by the paper traders. Andreas, what do you think?
