Innovation has been essential to creating the modern lifestyle many enjoy today but requires a risk appetite and a willingness to let markets express consumer preferences that emerge in a free and open society. Blockchain networks and decentralized platforms are creating a new set of conditions for digital finance transactions that can broadly increase inclusion and quality of service, and policymakers around the world are carefully considering the path forward. Blockchain networks and decentralized finance can help improve or supplant existing financial infrastructure but will need support from both sides of the aisle to truly unlock the benefits of digital finance and programmable money. In this episode of The Money Movement, Jeremy is joined by Brian Brooks, Chief Executive Officer at Bitfury Group and former U.S. Acting Comptroller of the Currency.

Bitfury Group, leading security and infrastructure provider for the Bitcoin Blockchain, has launched a music entertainment division named Surround last year, the first initiative of which is a fully interoperable digital ecosystem for the tracking, storing, and monetization of music and entertainment copyrights. Secured by the Bitcoin Blockchain, the platform is capable of capturing 100K transactions per second in immutable form and completing tasks such as user authentication, metadata management, and split royalty payments. The ecosystem enables a dynamic marketplace and the creation of commercial APIs for third party partners and developers. Providing users with a dashboard where they can track these transactions in real-time, Surround aims to ensure transparency and trust, as artists are empowered, and payment procedures are incentivized. This mission is grounded in the industry wisdom and experience behind Surround’s founding team led by CEO and co-founder Stefan Schulz. Schulz joins me on Tech Talks Daily to talks about Surround and how the platform deploys blockchain technology. Schulz was a founding member of Universal Mobile and has over twenty years of experience in the music industry.

Beijing-based Bitcoin miner, Bitmain, has announced plans to build the world’s largest Bitcoin mine in Texas, USA. Bitstocks Relationship Managers, Antonio Shillingford and James Coughlan take you through the difficulties Bitmain have faced with their operations in Mainland China, and why setting up shop in Rockdale, Texas promises smoother operations for Bitmain AND a boost for the local economy. In closely related news, Canadian Bitcoin miner, Hut 8 Mining Corp, is expanding its Drumheller, Alberta mining farm with nine Blockbox AC data centres purchased from the Bitfury Group. Antonio uses Hut 8 as an example of a Bitcoin mining company that’s setting itself up to best compete in the reshuffling of hashing power and profitability that’s under way. ---------------------------------- Find Bitstocks online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bitstocks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bitstockslondonTwitter: https://twitter.com/bitstocks_DTube: https://d.tube/#!/c/bitstocksblogWebsite: https://www.bitstocks.com/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5zphMtWOn4r8Nv6vhw9LC8iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/bitstocks-podcast/id1439810872

Phil Chen, decentralized chief officer of HTC, discusses the upcoming model of the Exodus, why it will feature a full Bitcoin node, what's in it for the user, whether or not it will affect the performance of other apps on the phone and whether HTC would ever add mining capabilities for the phone. We cover how the phone also functions as a hardware wallet, how private keys are kept safe, and how they are recovered if the user loses their phone. Plus, he describes who the ideal user is and how having so many crypto features built into the phone could change how people interact with their devices. On May 27th I will be hosting a conversation about the future of finance and human rights at the Oslo Freedom Forum in Norway. As the world continues to move toward a cashless society, paper currency is disappearing. Companies like Facebook, Apple, and TenCent are becoming increasingly influential in the digital payment space. We'll discuss how individuals and companies can preserve and protect financial freedoms in the digital age. I'll be joined by Bitcoin author and educator Jimmy Song; Casa chief technology officer Alena Vranova; CoinCenter founder Jerry Brito; and Bitfury Group vice chairman George Kikvadze.

Good morning, welcome to Payments Monitor, my name is Faisal Khan, today is the 27th of October 2015, some stories for today are: TOP STORIES JPMorgan Chase announced that its Chase Pay product (a challenger to Apple Pay) has signed up with the retailer consortium MCX. The Chase Pay wallet is all set to go into battle with the likes of Apple Pay, Google, Samsung and PayPal. MasterCard is wanting to make everything a payment device. MasterCard believes that the IoT (Internet of Things) will enable consumers to make payments that have never been thought possible before. No surprise when Accenture’s report cites that almost half of the world’s largest banks do not have directors with technology experience on their board. The world’s largest money-transfer company Western Union is jumping onboard the social media bandwagon. The remittance giant launched WU Connect, a technology platform that integrates with consumer messaging and social media platform, enabling users to quickly send money throughout the world. Pretty much same thing as FastaCash one would presume. China’s big B2B panda, Alibaba saw a revenue boost, predominantly attributed to mobile. Alibaba’s profits surged to US$ 3.57 Billion for its quarter ending on 30th September. The revenue recorded beat Wall Street forecasts. BP plans to reorganize itself in view of the lower oil prices, whilst the US plans to sell down strategic oil reserves to raise cash. It seems despite the optimism of some oil producing countries in the middle-east, oil prices won’t be climbing back to the near record levels of US$ 100 and above, anytime soon. Last week Credit Suisse released its annual Global Wealth Report. Something true and pretty astonishing from the report: if you have US$ 10 with you, you’re wealthier than 25% of all Americans. BLOG OPINION: There is a really interesting paper out, called “Public versus Private Blockchains” which was put out by the BitFury Group. It is an easy to read paper that explains how Public/Private blockchains can be used. It specifically cites use cases of who, how and where some blockchain implementations are being experimented. CLOSING THOUGHTS For nearly the past two years, myself, and my co-hosts, Brian Roemmele and Mike Townsend have been doing a weekly podcast called Around The Coin. The podcast, which is an hour long recaps some of the stories of the week as well as our perspective on all things banking, payments, fintech, startups and entrepreneurs. We publish the podcast every Sunday and if you’re in the field of banking payments or fintech, rest assured this is worth a listen. Again the URL for that podcast is www.AroundTheCoin.com You can access all the links of this podcast on paymentsmonitor.com - That’s all for today, my name is Faisal Khan and you’ve been listening to the Payments Monitor. Speak tomorrow!
