  1. So how is the evidence in tamper-able. If the people that are re putting the copies of the right information who is to say that they themselves cannot change the information and put it in differently.

  2. What happens when a person that approved something in a chain dies or leaves the country? What happens if someone uses a dead person"s identity (like in voting) to approve links in a chain?

  3. Great video. If y'all ever need an experienced trader. learn to trade and do this or for a safer investment, its best to find a successful trader that gives out signals and then, copy them. Alfred Davies is the guy. Y'all can contact him on Telegram @alfred061 or whatsapp +1-213-316-6843

  4. Great PRESENTATION! Excellent delivery of explanation of what BLOCK CHAIN Technology is and its impact in the TRUST FACTOR of doing business and ANY OTHER human interaction, PUBLIC OR PRIVATE!
    What I wonder is who if any one will be able to protect knowledge, and or business alliances to work together to bringing about a product? This would also be GREAT FOR ALL WALL STREET TRANSACTIONS!

  5. A screamer —- A whisperer at times too. Long pauses, but not mysterious.

    So the blockchain is also Tamper-able, but you can tell they tampered with it… what is the advantage!!
    I was thinking of buying bitcoin because of this blockchain thing… but if it can also be tampered with … what good is it to KNOW it if my money is gone!!

  6. how do you trust the tangerine seller (or one of the many middlemen involved in transacting the produce between grower and final consumer) to not put someone else's QR code on their tangerine…how would a consumer know the QR code is not a copy?

  7. A bright future for BITCOIN which is the best performer asset among different markets is approaching. You as an investor must have at least a fraction of bitcoin in your portfolio

    Do not sell your BITCOIN just let it grow in value
