Every Industry

Everything

The moving finger writes; and having writMoves on; nor all your piety nor witshall lure it back to cancel half a line,Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.

Spreading the Word

11

I took the word of the blockchain out to the people – well, out to the people who would listen to me anyway


What’s in the Blocks?

12

Time to pause for breath and ask ourselves what is the reality


Why Use a Shared Ledger?

What’s wrong with DB2?It was good enough

for my fatherand his father before him

There are reasons to use shared ledgereven a double-permissioned ledger

with known participantsand central co-ordination


Shared Ledgers

Remember this from last year?14


Consensus Computers

A different way of thinking15


Communications: Robustness

16


Content: Innovation

Identity on a Shared Ledger17


Consensus: Integrity

18


Contract: Flexibility

p.225 Smart contracts need not be limited to finance and when paired with "smart property" — where deeds, titles and other certifications of ownership are put in digital form to be acted on by

software — these contracts allow the automatic transfer for ownership of a physical asset.19


Shared Ledger is a Regtech

A shared ledger doesn’t by itselfmake payments cheaper or faster

But it might make the payments industrycheaper and faster


What’s a Fintech?

21

A fintech uses new technology to change the cost-benefit for private stakeholders


What’s a Regtech?

22

A regtech uses new technology to change the cost-benefit for society
