Sweetbridge is a blockchain-based economic framework that transforms supply chain and logistics collaboration through a fast, fair and flexible value exchange that unleashes working capital for the benefit of all participants. The Sweetbridge economy is a trusted, transparent digital economy that co-exists with existing national economies. Sweetbridge's blockchain protocols harmonize the rules for market-access, property-rights protection, and compensation for individuals and companies, across existing national economies and boundaries. Thus, Sweetbridge enables both existing and new forms of global trade and settlement.

This SweetTalk covers projects for integrating blockchain and IoT for more secure and transparent supply chain data, and how to bring medium-sized businesses up to speed on integration of these new systems with limited IT resources. Jason talks with Jim Gitney, CEO of Group 50 and Bryan Merckling, CEO of THINaer.

SweetTalk Alliance Edition with IXO founder and CEO, Dr. Shaun Conway. IXO is creating a blockchain-based economy at ixo.world for impact investment, allowing anyone to become a stakeholder in projects for sustainable development goals, from environment to education. Jason English interviews Shaun for Sweetbridge. August 2018.

Sarah's with Joon Ian Wong Managing Director for Europe and Asia at Coindesk and Aaron Stanley, Strategic Communications Lead at Sweetbridge to talk about the latest news, including: Police Confiscate some Bitcoin, Coinbase gets political, and Return of the Bitcoin We kick things off with Surrey police force obtaining 295 bitcoins last October after arresting a Latvian man, who has since been convicted for money laundering and sentenced to nine years in prison. Police since sold the assets for around $1.5 million - back then, the price of a bitcoin was around $5,000. The sale has been ruled as legitimate and the police force is allowed to keep 18.8% of the proceeds for its operational budget. Then we move on to the bitcoin price has climbing above the $8,000 mark for the first time since mid-May, what's pushing up the price, and what's going on with the rumours of a bitcoin exchange traded fund (ETF). Next up, we take a closer look at MyEtherWallet, the most popular crypto wallet service on the internet. It's getting a mobile app in a bid to increase security for users. MEW Connect, is an iOS app that allows users to access their wallet through MyEtherWallet but without the need to type their private key. Instead it uses a QR code and it's free, with 600,000 visitors per day the beta demand is likely to be high. We continue on with VCTRADE, the world's first bank-backed cryptocurrency now opening to the public. Owned by SBI Holdings, the Japanese bank launched its in-house crypto trading platform last month. Launch comes nearly two years after SBI Holdings first announced it would build the exchange in October 2016. The platform received an operating license from Japan's financial watchdog, the Financial Services Agency, late last year. The service is now fully open for users aged from 20–70 who reside in Japan. Debut was delayed as the firm worked to raise levels of internal security following a massive $533 million hack at the country's Coincheck exchange in January. Then we move on to exciting news from Google. Google announced a partnership with the New York-based startup Digital Asset, which makes tools to build blockchain-based apps. Google wrote in a blog post that its Cloud customers can “now explore ways they might use distributed ledger technology (DLT) frameworks” through early access to Digital Asset software aiming to provide developers with a full stack solution so they can unleash the potential for web-paced innovation in blockchain. Next up, Coinbase has formed a political action committee (PAC) to raise money to spend on US elections. Under American federal law, an organization is classified as a PAC if it collects donations worth more than $1,000 from its members and channels them into campaign funds with the intention of influencing an electoral process. The biggest motive for Coinbase is access to the politicians that have substantial influence over financial regulatory policy. Finally, we discuss BitTorrent Inc. being acquired by TRON Foundation. BitTorrent Inc, the parent company behind the popular file-sharing client uTorrent, has confirmed its acquisition by the TRON Foundation. The TRON foundation has its own cryptocurrency and the idea is apparently to create. We take a look at what this means for blockchain and if crypto may go the way of BitTorrent, exciting technology that's used for a whille before being supplanted. And our Tweet of the week this time comes from @SmartereumTV Colin G. Platt catches up with Marieke Flament, Europe MD and CMO of Circle to talk about the tokenisation of everything.

According to Don Tapscott, Co-founder and Executive Chairman at Blockchain Research Institute, Sweetbridge is "truly a pioneer of this next era of the digital revolution". As he goes on to say, they certainly have a bold vision to improve the way we do business, and make global commerce more accessible for everyone. So via a recent TeamBlockchainMasterclass event at CMS, I took the opportunity to explore that vision with Alastair Band of Sweetbridge, who're looking to create a decentralised OS for global commerce. We talk about Sweetbridge launching a two-token economic system where their Sweetcoin and Bridgecoin serve separate, but entirely complementary, purposes. Alistair says, growing your community is not about paying for Telegram users; it’s about connecting people, getting them together, getting them talking. And blockchain gives the opportunity to distribute not only information, but also wealth, and thereby make the world a fairer place, targeting different demographics and to giving everyone an equal opportunity to profit. The Sweetbridge ICO offers both the Sweetcoin, a membership token used within their application, and the stable Bridgecoin backed by real-world assets. In short, Sweetbridge will offer usage tokens that you can later offset against loan interest. And Bridgecoin loans can be set against your assets. If you want to put an extension on your house, you don’t have to go to the bank and re-mortgage. You can put your house in the smart contract allowing you to create liquidity in the value of your property, and borrow funds against that. Your loan is issued in Bridgecoin, which you can then change to fiat currency to pay the builder. And if you have enough Sweetcoin lodged, you can stake that against the loan, and reduce your interest potentially down to 0%. It’s cutting out an awful lot of those dreaded middle men… And finally there will also be a Sweetbridge accounting protocol, basically an app where everything, all your assets, your house value, your stocks, your shares, your crypto assets, plus an API which plugs into your banking and shows your banking assets, all your savings accounts, how much is left on your mortgage, in one real place. It’s not just a wallet for Sweetbridge, it’s a wallet for everything. So far, Sweetbridge have raised £12 million of their £65 million total goal. Think that sounds a lot? As Alistair says, they are trying to disrupt a $54 trillion industry, after all. Sweetbridge believes it can affect every single product in our lives, making things cheaper to produce, easier to access. There’s a real-world impact to this, from making it easier and cheaper to raise finance to facilitating rice production in South East Asia. And if there’s one final thought to take away from this interview, it’s the inevitable and incontestable: there is a better way.

Scott Nelson explains this once in a lifetime opportunity of how this blockchain future will create a level playing field for everyone by reducing the cost of capital. Scott was on a beach in Hawaii after selling his logistic payment platform company and was concerned that the blockchain pioneers might not know how to develop a good financial system of the future.Sweetbridge is a blockchain operating system and they will be releasing a wallet and a loan product alongside their cryptocurrency. They are actively engaging their community, working with regulators, governments, municipalities and early adopters excited to test out their game changing platform.With a background in technology, finance and supply chain Scott Nelson has a unique experience to help build a more efficient financial system. Scott talks about his motivation and the challenges of running a blockchain organisation and how this could become a #GameChanger for our world.Connect with Scott Nelson on Linkedin here.Host: Adam Woodhall of www.inspiring-sustainability.comConnect: www.linkedin.com/in/adamwoodhall See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

James Salmon, President of Collaborative Construction, LLC and Executive Director of the American Subcontractor Association of Ohio. James Salmon was part of our panel at our Blockchain in Construction event here in Chicago. In Kimon Onuma's episode http://constructrr.com/ep57 (here), we talk about Creating Agility and Efficiency and Open Architecture as a Platform, Kimon mentioned James. We connected after that interview and I invited him to speak at my Blockchain in Construction event. James is a lawyer by trade, and is passionate about the Common Data Environment, BIM/ Integrated Contract Models which led him to Blockchain. The interesting thing about James is that as a lawyer, he is more passionate about openness so that everyone sees everyone's cards on the table face up versus closed, competitive, and adversarial contractual nature of construction.

According to the World Bank, universal financial access is vital to reducing poverty, and lack of access to credit plays a significant role in widening inequalities between developed and developing nations. For producers at the end of the supply chain, and who typically have little access to capital, waiting for customers to pay for their products puts them at high financial risk and threatens their livelihood. What if there was a way to bring more liquidity to global supply chains, by allowing anyone to create liquidity from their existing assets. We’re joined by Bob Summerwill, Community Ambassador at Sweetbridge, an ambitious project that aims to change the way global business operates at a fundamental level. While supply chains account for about two-thirds of the World’s GDP, value is trapped in non-liquid assets sitting in warehouses, on store shelves, or in the form of outstanding invoices. Sweetbridge acts as a sort of OSI model for global business. In the Sweetbridge economy, working capital is freed up by enabling individuals and organizations to borrow from themselves interest-free. Topics covered in this episode: Bob’s background as a game developer How Bob got involved with Ethereum and his role at The Ethereum Foundation What is the Sweetbridge and how it aims to transform global business How one can use Sweetbirdge to collateralize assets and borrow money The different protocol layers of Sweetbridge How Bridgecoin and Sweetcoin work, and their respective roles The role and goals of the Sweetbridge Alliance The upcoming token sale The project roadmap and upcoming product releases Episode links: Sweetbridge Sweetbridge Whitepapers SweetTalk with Vinay Gupta & Scott Nelson This episode is hosted by Meher Roy and Sébastien Couture.

Scott Nelson, CEO of Sweetbridge is endeavoring to provide liquidity to the supply chains of the world and to unlock the value of $700T of assets, assets that are typically illiquid. Sweetbridge is a blockchain based protocol stack that enables highly efficient supply chains and commerce without intermediaries. We will unpack this as we go through the interview.

Cryptocurrencies have captivated public attention in the past months, shrugging off a reputation for being just a way to carry out illegal activities in the dark web. But it's now the technology that powers cryptocurrencies, the blockchain, that is taking centre stage. The hype surrounding the blockchain has never been bigger, and even the financial and political establishment talked blockchain at the World Economic Forum in Davos. What can be the benefits of the blockchain for cross-boarder trade and investment? Podcast host Jacopo Dettoni talks blockchain with Catherine Mulligan, co-director at the Centre for Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering at the Imperial College London. The podcast also features interviews with Jason Kelley, head of IBM's Global Blockchain Services; Antonas Guoga, alias “Tony-G”, poker legend, blockchain entrepreneur and member of the European parliament from Lithuania; David Henderson, co-founder of blockchain-based solution for supply chain finance Sweetbridge.

Sweetbridge offers something Bitcoin may never be able to: a stable token that can be used as a transactional currency for personal lending, transactional trade, and B to B transactions. “It's going to be the most dull coin in existence; it's going to stick to the US dollar….and that stability is what will drive finance and drive the financing of supply chain transactions in the future.” Comprised of a team of global contributors building a blockchain alliance, Sweetbridge aims to provide a platform for low-cost banking, interest-free loans and trading for individuals and businesses alike. Among a number of projects in the queue, Sweetbridge is working on the collateralization of standard supply chain crypto assets as a precursor to the release of the Asset Vault, which will allow for those crypto assets to be borrowed against. To date, no other projects have been able to fully accomplish what Sweetbridge is promising. The platform is set to launch early next year, so stay tuned for the latest updates.

We wanted to give customers an update on two upcoming Bitcoin forks—Bitcoin Segwit2x and Bitcoin Gold. What does it mean for you? In addition we put the spotlight once again back on Sweetbridge. Since our discussion with Vinay Gupta we wanted to revisit what makes Sweetbridge so special. It is a blockchain-based economic framework that transforms supply chain and logistics collaboration through fast, fair and flexible value exchange protocols that unleash working capital for the benefit of all participants. Scott Nelson, CEO & Chairman of Sweetbridge, describes the project's vision of a blockchain alliance for the supply chain, and the economic benefits.

This week Simon and Colin crunch through all the week's top news. Why's everyone talking about SegWit2x, when will it happen and what does it mean for the future of bitcoin? Switzerland looks set to remain 'crypto valley' with talk of a code of conduct for ICOs. The guys talk security in bitcoin exchanges and why "those regulators gonna regulate". And with news that HMRC has built a blockchain proof of concept for the UK border, we discuss whether this is an efficiency no-brainer, or the precursor to a dystopian, crypto-enabled future. The database giant Oracle has unveiled its enterprise blockchain platform, but will this solution cannibalise its existing business? We also hear from Scott Nelson at Sweetbridge on expanding the definition of liquidity, and Abasa Phillips from Zilla to tell us about their new platform to invest in ICOs. And finally, wtf - what the Fetchcoin?! Whether its brilliantly conceived satire or a credible venture, you decide - let us know what you think!
