An overview of the already launched / under development Blockchain killer apps out there originally planned as 2 videos but expanded to 3 videos to cover it all.
This is the second video where we focus on re-thinking the blockchain, and understanding why this technology can prove to be revolutionary for how humanity records, remembers and keeps track of itself. Indeed by providing an immutable and transparent database, open to anyone, blockchain technology is destined to disrupt deeds, journalism, scientific publications, patents, artistic rights, and history itself. This is much more than a public ledger or proof of publication, this is a global shared history.
To understand these concepts, you are taken you on a tour of the blockchain.
This is the ninth video in our series called “Bitcoin as a Disruptor”. What are the future implications of Bitcoin around the World ? This episode highlights bitcoin’s ability to provide full banking services for over half the world’s population, the unbanked billions.
Finance, accounting and distribution would become infinitely easier…..and adding 3.5 billion people into the world’s economy could bring benefits no one can foresee.
Few realize how many unbanked there are even in the developed world. Can cutting edge technology, like bitcoin provide the ultimate solution?
The use of bitcoin and exchanges (fiat to btc/altcoin) has awaken the controversy around topics like hacking, fraud, technical breakdown, to mention some. The events have proven that these areas must be taken care of in detail.
It has become a kind of luxury to discuss which exchanges provide the best service, are the most user friendly, speedy and competitive on their fees.
BUT, one of the highest risk factors is often forgotten. The external risk attached to the authorities that define the rules of the game also known as “compliance”.

Record-breaking fines issued by regulators worldwide, notably in the US and UK, dominated the financial services landscape the last few years, with many Bitcoin exchanges closing for trade owing to non-compliance with regulatory requirements or exorbitant licencing related fees, making inviable to hold the exchange day to day operations. In other words many of these businesses were destroyed, with job positions and money lost.
As a consequence, the shutdown of these exchanges created a lot of stress on customers. This included businesses scrambling for alternatives in order to safeguard their continuing operation, often in need of taking their funds out in cash over a short time period. Then, when trying to deposit the funds cash to another bank, a new problem occurs: Cash Deposits. Large cash transactions are in practise now criminalized at least in the western world. You could easily end up with a lot of cash at home or in your office.
Crypto currency exchanges shouldn’t overlook at this issue, as in some regions complying with the rules and regulations could become a never ending wheel. If the exchange is based in Europe or the US, Canada, or Australia, they could be surprised after they have adopted and complied the best they can.
Bitcoin exchanges use banks, which carry very much of the same risks as the risk related to the authorities.
Our research has identified 10 major well known banks in Europe and the US that we think will fail over the next few years. The users, and that includes the exchanges using these banks are of course at high risk as well. The debt problem of the western world was never solved.
Where to choose and/or base a bitcoin exchange?
We think some select countries in Asia and Latin America are the best due to the rising social mood trending in these regions over the coming decade. It is hard to believe, but regulations might even be relaxed in these regions the coming years, giving exchanges a brighter future.
This is the second video in our series called “Bitcoin as a Disruptor”. Bitcoin will change the society and the economic playing field. Who is at risk ?

Banks are at risk !
Banks charge a lot of money for a simple money transfer, banks put more and more restrictions on their clients use of their own money, behaving like they are you parents, etc.
The question is can the banks continue with this kind of behavior in the future?
