Bitcoin experts compare private blockchains to internet's early 'walled gardens'

People often make a comparison between Bitcoin and the growth of the internet: to begin with early technology adopters embraced it; later its renegade reputation led to a vogue for walled gardens and closed networks for corporate use.

This comparison was invoked by Paul Gordon, CEO Quantave, at a recent panel session entitled "The Future of Money" at Linedata Exchange London 2015. He was joined on the panel by Nicolas Cary, co-founder of Blockchain.info, and James Smith, CEO Elliptic.
