Shrem’s Take on R3 Consortium’s Confusion
The R3 Consortium experience was more bewildering than a child at a tax audit. Initially aimed at integrating blockchain technology within banks, they concluded their efforts were futile. Charlie Shrem shares his thoughts:
“I don’t understand the difference between a private Blockchain and a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. If only a few companies control the blockchain, what’s the point?”
It’s like trying to make a pizza with no oven—how’s that supposed to work out?
Bitcoin: Banks’ Confused Love Affair
Banks are in a peculiar situation when it comes to Bitcoin. They don’t seem to hate it; they ignore it. Shrem suggests that banks are just a little too comfortable in their old ways:
“Banks don’t admit that Bitcoin is amazing. They think it’s a fad… Until they start losing customers.”
It’s reminiscent of how long it took for people to appreciate the internet—like waiting for your cat to finally notice the red dot from a laser pointer.
Blockchain versus the Internet: Can They Coexist?
While blockchain is celebrated as the “next big thing,” many ponder if it can truly reach the internet’s heights. Shrem argues that it’s a matter of time and adoption:
“As people start using it, it will grow. It will take years, but it’s going to succeed.”
Patience is a virtue, especially when waiting for a technology that might change everything.
Marketing Digital Currency: The Path Forward
As digital currency continues to carve out its niche, gaining public trust is essential. Shrem stresses the importance of effective marketing:
“We can show that Bitcoin is amazing and here to stay. We must keep promoting its positives.”
Just like trying to convince a friend that pineapple on pizza isn’t a crime; some battles just take time and persistence.
Embracing Blockchain for Governance
Blockchain’s potential to reshape governance is significant, helping citizens feel more connected to their governments. Shrem emphasizes the benefits of integrating blockchain into public sectors:
“Countries should use Blockchain for transparency. Health records, elections—it’s all possible.”
Look at Estonia, where digitization is thriving thanks to its progressive government and tech-friendly environment. Let’s hope others catch up before they miss the train once again!
Final Thoughts: The Future Looks Bright
BlockShow Europe 2017 is not just a conference; it’s a glimpse into a future where blockchain technology could dominate various sectors. Secure your spot to dive deeper into these promising discussions on April 6. Trust us; this is one event you won’t want to miss.
