In today's episode we explore the shift in crypto's landscape driven by political forces. We dive into JD Vance's nomination as Trump's running mate and its implications for the industry. The conversation examines how figures like Larry Fink and Jamie Dimon are changing their tune on Bitcoin, potentially influencing policy. We debate Vitalik Buterin's controversial stance on crypto voting and consider how these political dynamics are intersecting with ETF approvals and fears of currency debasement to shape crypto's trajectory.

There’s no question the corporate world is serious about blockchain technology. Exhibitors at the recent Blockchain Expo in London included multinational tech, finance and consultancy firms. But what stage have big companies reached in developing blockchain projects? And are they ready to accept the original Bitcoin vision of public blockchains - rather than working on ‘in house’ private blockchains? Many in the Bitcoin world see the latter as like the so-called ‘walled gardens’ of online services such as AOL and Compuserve, which were popular before the Internet overtook them as the public grew more confident about going online.CoinGeek spoke to two executives from the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) at the conference to understand their perspective on blockchain adoption. The podcast also includes a detailed example of one blockchain project in an interview with Aisling McGibbon, senior product manager with PWC. It’s called Smart Credentials, and is a platform which allows users to get their qualifications validated by the bodies that issued them.
This is a very special podcast for us as it is our first debate format on Insureblocks. We were extremely privileged to have two titans/Jedi Masters from the blockchain community join us for this podcast. On one side we have Richard Brown, Chief Technology Officer from R3, builders of Corda, advocating for enterprises to use private blockchain systems. Whilst on the other side we’ve got John Wolpert, Team Lead at Web 3 Studio at Consensys, builders of Ethereum based blockchains, advocating for enterprises to use public blockchain systems. Have a listen to this fascinating podcast and if you’d like for Insureblocks to organise more debates on our show, do let us know. About Richard and R3 Richard is the Chief Technology Officer at R3 an enterprise software firm that are the founders of Corda. Corda is an open source blockchain platform designed for the enterprise world. R3 initially began as a consortium of large financial firms trying to figure out what opportunity does blockchain represent for their firms and the implication blockchain may bring to their businesses. As part of this learning exercise and exploration they reviewed a number of blockchain platforms before deciding to build their own blockchain platform called Corda. Corda is available in an open source format and it is being used by a large number of firms to solve some interesting business processes. About John and Consensys John is the leader of a team at Consensys called Web 3 Studio. Consensys is a company that is dedicated to building a platform to enable people to build on the Ethereum blockchain. John’s Web 3 team focuses, as he puts it, “on novel unexpected and exciting use cases that can help developers really get behind blockchain and Web 3.0” Previously John used to be the Global Head of Products at IBM’s blockchain and one of the cofounders of Hyperledger. However, John, doesn’t define himself as a Hyperledger guy or an Ethereum guy but more as a “stateful internet” guy. He is a big fan for pushing the managing of states in a decentralized manner. What is Blockchain? - John According to John, blockchain is just one part of an evolution of the internet towards a stateful internet. In other words an upgrade to the present internet that is essentially led by companies soloing servers sitting around controlling state, memory and business logic. “There won’t be one chain to rule them all.” But now, I believe that in order for the Stateful Internet to avoid descending into a fight at the gates of Mordor, we do in fact need a trustless, permissionless, decentralized root chain playing umpire. This can be done today in a decentralized manner similar to how we experience passing messages right now with packets of information going back and forth between different routers. However, managing state is a lot harder than managing passing messages. As messages go through a router, a router doesn’t have to remember what state it was before, what state it is now and coordinate that state with billions of other routers. Ethereum offers the ability to manage state between routers in a decentralized manner. What is Blockchain? - Richard For Richard, blockchain is a technology that enables us to do something we couldn’t have done before. It enables multiple different computers, controlled by different organisations that don’t necessary fully trust each other, to be in sync and to be in consensus about some facts their owners care about. Whether that’s a crypto, an insurance policy or anything else. To be able to know that what you see on your computer your counterpart sees the same thing. This works without any one party having undue influence or power over the other and without everybody having to cede control to some central entity or some cloud operator. Background to this debate On the 3r of January 2019, Consensys published an article entitled “Busting the myths of private blockchains”.

For most firms getting a good understanding of what is blockchain and its possible use is a challenging exercise. Once that has been established a further decision has to be made regarding whether or not to build their blockchain solution on a public or private blockchain system. Within the first two weeks of January 2019, both the public and private blockchain proponents expressed their views on the merits of their systems. For this podcast we had the pleasure of having Richard Brown, Chief Technology Officer at R3, the builders of Corda, a private blockchain system, express his views. Who is R3? R3 is an enterprise software company that produces an open-source blockchain called Corda. Corda was first launched in 2016, initially for financial services sectors, mainly banks. However, it was the insurance industry that helped broaden Corda’s view and utility as a blockchain for other industries. Now in 2019, Corda has launched the 4thversion of Corda which has already been adopted by finance, insurance, healthcare, government, and the oil and gas industry. What is blockchain? What is interesting to know is that in the early days of R3 they didn’t begin with the ambition or the intention of building a blockchain platform. R3 began as a collaborative exercise between a large number of large firms to try and figure out what is blockchain and what the opportunities and implications it might have. The conclusion they came out with regarding “What is blockchain?” is that blockchain is a technology or an approach to building systems that allows multiple parties who want to transact, but who don’t fully trust each other to do so in a way that allows each and every one of them to know what they see on their computer is exactly the same as what their counterparts sees on theirs. This massively drives down duplication costs, errors, inconsistencies and the need for reconciliation which allows firms to focus on solving business problems and transacting with their counterparts. Essentially, once you know what you see is accurate, that you know the information you’re working on is correct, you can make decisions more quickly and with more confidence. Busting the myth of private blockchains - Consensys On the 3rdof January an author at Consensys, an Ethereum based blockchain technology company, published a blog post entitled “Busting the Myth of Private Blockchains”, whose main point was to explain why enterprises shouldn’t use private blockchains in business: Business networks need resilience, interoperability, permissioning, and privacy to succeed. These requirements, however, are out of scope for proprietary distributed ledgers, let alone traditional database technologies. The Ethereum blockchain’s granular privacy layers and public-first approach make it a powerful enterprise solution for organizations that need the flexibility of an in-house platform and that want the global reach to participate in economies of scale. The Rebutal – Busting the myth of public blockchains for business On the 14th of January, Richard wrote a blog post “Busting the myth of public blockchains for business”. In this blog post he debunks three of the main arguments the Ethereum community makes on why business should build on Ethereum: Ethereum has the largest community of developers. For any firm new to blockchain deciding which platform to use can be complicated. A common argument used by the Ethereum blockchain community was to go to the platform with the most developers. Ethereum has the most advanced tools and the best technology. This argument essentially builds on the first since Ethereum has the largest community of developers. Anchoring your private transactions onto a public chain is more secure. Public chains are more immutable than ‘insecure’ private networks and so you should ‘anchor’ your private transactions to prevent malicious parties rolling back your transactions behind your back.”

Ahmed and Faisal sit down with the Tarik Mohammed, Chief Compliance Officer of OTC Supply. Firstly, Ahmed brings up the Wall Street Journal’s article of identifying that $90 million in suspected criminal proceeds that flowed through intermediaries such as Shapeshift over two years. The discussion goes into how Monero, and more specially how these private transactions work along with explaining concepts such as zero knowledge proofs and atomic swaps. Tarek lists the issues that the industry faces with these types of private cryptocurrencies and how these challenges can still remain with the rise of decentralised exchanges. The conversation delves into whether or not cryptocurrencies are actually used for criminal purposes and Tarek explains the ‘know your flow of funds’ concept which has become a rising theme in the regulatory space and how it impacts exchange and OTC businesses going forward. They also explain how the Journal categorised potential addresses that were associated with criminal purposes. Ahmed then moves onto the next topic which started as a debate on a WhatsApp group and was related to the next article covered. This article is regarding how an employee in a bank tried for many years to implement private blockchain solutions and concluded that he has lost faith in private blockchains. Faisal explains his view as someone who is helping to implement blockchain solutions at a governmental level. The three talk about how current blockchain implementations worldwide seem to force a blockchain solution, rather than finding an alternative and better solution for a particular problem. Tarek adds that data classifications and uniformity are critical in implementing blockchain solutions at an enterprise and government level and sees this as one of the biggest challenges. The three explain the concept of central points of failure and how these risks are increased under private permissioned implementations. Faisal also compares the incremental innovations from the disruptive innovations under these different scenarios. The next article they cover is about Zebpay, a large Indian cryptocurrency exchange, which has decided to stop its cryptocurrency exchange operations due to the central bank banning banks servicing cryptocurrency projects making it harder for them to continue their operations. Ahmed argues that emerging markets like India should be leading in this space and support the ecosystem. Tarek explains his experiences with emerging market regulators and how they have a wait and see approach regarding regulations and thus is harder for them to lead in a new nascent industry. He goes on to discuss how different exchanges globally have different approaches to implementing their businesses, as some favour a more professional regulatory approach versus others who would launch services straight away without any regulation as a means to capture more market share. The bitcoin ATMs recently installed in Area 2071 in the Emirates Towers in Dubai also gets a shout out due to the Central Bank of the UAE only allowing registered customers to buy and sell up to 1000 AED ($200-300) worth of cryptos per day and Tarek argues this is a good first step for the local industry rather than indirectly banning innovation as with the case of the Central Bank of India.

In this episode Adam Muise and I discuss the difference between a Private and Public blockchain. We delve into when to use either and how you can learn a lot more about blockchains.
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!
