Very interesting application. If metadata is easily available and immutable it could revolutionize research. Not sure the tech is efficient enough yet

With hyperinflation and illegal foreign currency exchange still issues around the world imagine the impact of a stable, international, digital currency. https://t.co/MvY3fuOewT via @WSJ

Right now there is a large focus on using excess computing power for mining or storage. How else could we coordinate and use this resource? What if https://t.co/7yCSr8L6BF via @CoinDesk

As I noted in an earlier post, I think Stablecoins will first achieve acceptance by being collateralized. https://t.co/GAmxDkRk1N

The first coinage act in the US "tethered" the US $ to silver in 1792. Not until the amendment of the Par Value Modification Act in 1973 was it fully disconnected from a metallic standard. I think the first widely used stablecoins will take the same path but faster.

Historically, new opportunities were made available to corporate and institutional investors first. It strikes me that they are only accepting applications from retail investors at this point. Big shift. https://t.co/sSmWyV63Qa via @cryptocoinsnews

If this is a big issue it will slow adoption with the average person. Perhaps add an escrow function for recipients to accept and senders to release. https://t.co/TkNnxbHHm5

Even with some unique tools that crypto stablecoins would have, this article from the WSJ demonstrates the difficulty in managing global currency volatility. https://t.co/LKRcrqDKpe via @WSJ

Hopefully, it will also shine a light on issues with existing equity markets and encourage much needed evolution there. https://t.co/FuzFPTdlXy

Cryptos on the radar of regulators all over the world is a good thing because it’s going to force the whole ecosystem to grow up from its current state of infancy

A stable quantum computer could hack a blockchain. That being said, blockchain is fueling some philosophical changes in technology like distributed processing and limiting how data can be used vs. locking it behind a firewall. https://t.co/DbBzreV92T via @cryptocoinsnews

A good article on another critical disruption in technology, Quantum Computing. Some politics but also approachable descriptions of what it is. “Winning the Race in Quantum Computing” by @AmericanAffrs https://t.co/IprzH2B6Rz

A stable, scalable quantum internet would take digital communications to a whole new level. Quantum entanglement on demand could lead to a super-secure internet https://t.co/INeqP2L4qI via @engadget

Just to give perspective on how early we are in the evolution of Dapps, the top app on Ethereum has less than 7,000 daily users vs. Facebook at 1.45 billion and Intsagram at 500 million (https://t.co/iUqpDQkobl). There is huge opportunity here.

Much like Uber will force the taxi industry to a middle ground between over and under regulated, ICOs will do the same with stock market regulation. https://t.co/e9pXyVnPSg

Abigail Johnson's interest in blockchain a year ago pushed me to get more involved and educated on the subject. She continues to believe in its potential. https://t.co/V1ZFRJPMaH
