One of the main drives, since Bitcoin began gaining popularity, were the other possible uses of the block chain technology that drives it. Some have found ways to build other data layers on top of the block chain while others have found it possible to use the block chain to secure copyright notices. Everledger has devised a way that insurance companies can utilize the block chain to ensure that the items they are insuring are what they are said to be.

They can see the threat from blockchain fintech, and are considering ways to integrate selected aspects into their own operations. “We are not currently working actively on any bitcoin-based solutions, but we watch the cryptocurrency market closely,” said Andrew Buckley, head of MasterCard products for Europe. “We find them interesting from a technology perspective, but currently don’t see them as a viable solution for mainstream commerce.” “Our focus is on these hundreds of millions of people with a bit of plastic in their wallets,” he added. “How do we get them into this new digital […]

Mexican bitcoin exchange Bitso has secured a seed-funding round led by Barry Silbert’s Digital Currency group which was participated in by Mexico-based angel investors. With the new financing, Bitso plans to expand its team in Mexico and aggressively push its project to use bitcoin for cross-border payments across South America. Since the majority of the population has no access to bank accounts or credit cards, Bitso aims to provide the nation with a cheaper yet robust mobile payment platform by connecting its bitcoin exchange with Transfer. Transfer is a lightweight banking initiative developed by the Mexican government as a collaboration with Mexican banks and corporations including Banamex, Inbursa, Telcel and Oxxo. Similar to M-Pesa, the popular mobile payment service launched […]

Greece has closed its banks and imposed capital controls to prevent financial chaos after the breakdown of bailout talks with its international creditors, The Financial Times reports. The decision comes at the end of a weekend that brought Greece closer to “Grexit” – the potential exit from the Eurozone and perhaps the European Union (EU) itself – and confronted Europe with a serious crisis. The banks in Greece and the Athene Stock Exchange will remain closed until at least July 6, the day after the referendum on the austerity measures demanded by the country’s creditors. In the meantime, cash withdrawals at ATMs will be limited to 60 euros ($66) and transfers abroad will be forbidden. Greece is the second Eurozone […]

The Grexit drama plot developed a twist when the Greek government turned on its antagonists and declared "This. Is. Sparta!" over the weekend. The EU now stands to witness the first actual fracture at its periphery, and it no longer holds the whip. Strategic alliances with other non-EU countries in the region become a reality, and the dwindling liquidity the ECB has been so desperate to protect, for the first time, makes a vortex near the open plug hole. China cuts interest rates in response to a stock market crash and the US Dollar strengthens as the Euro briefly sells […]

Everyone in the Bitcoin community is saying these people should convert to Bitcoin. Is that an option at this point? How can they get it if all they have is a currency that people increasingly do not want? There is a certain lack of fungibility in the Euro system; where it is obvious that a Euro was made for a certain country. This does not make it unusable in other countries, but if the whole […]
