That quotation is attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto founder of Bitcoin. However, in this 2 part series we have the time and are going to ask the founder of Blockchain.com, Nic Cary to explain what’s going on in the world of blockchain and crypto currencies, and the story of his company, which sits at the epi centre of these enormous plate shifts.

Not surprisingly he’s our youngest guest so far, a digital native and when he visited me a few weeks back to discuss his business courtesy of a mutual contact James Peterson I worried it could be like Samuel P. Huntington’s book; The Clash Of Civilizations: And The Remaking Of World Order.

Nic starts by explaining the potency and reach of the blockchain technology, its uses and its ability to transform many of the activities undertaken daily. He then discusses the emergence of crypto currencies and contrasts Ethereum with Bitcoin, other “protocols” and what a digital wallet really means.

He discusses the thinking behind creating his company Blockchain.com, some of its high profile backers, and the emerging institutional interest in this space. He talks about why some of the world’s legendary investors like Stan Druckenmiller and Alan Howard have invested in Crypto, before debating the Gold v Crypto issue.
