Why I believe in the Blockchain and Why You Should Too

I believe in the Blockchain and the transformational power of this technology. And you should too. In fact, I believe in the Blockchain so much that I just left my fantastic job working for Edelman, the greatest and largest Public Relations firm in the world, to take on the role of Global Chief of Communications at BitFury — the leading Bitcoin Blockchain infrastructure provider and transaction processing company in the world.

Wow, she has quite the resume. Congrats to her, she made the right decision!

I like in her post where she imagines...

Imagine a world where people can send money as easily as we send emails. Sounds crazy, but approximately 100,000 transactions take place on this growing network every single day.

Imagine a world where your bank or favorite e-commerce website isn’t hacked. Sounds crazy, but the Blockchain infrastructure BitFury helps protect hasn’t been hacked since its creation more than 7 years ago.

Imagine a world where criminals attempting misdeeds are logged in a permanent record that law enforcement can leverage in investigations. Sounds crazy, but law enforcement has already prosecuted and jailed illicit actors, including their own people, who have tried to use this technology for illegal activities.

Imagine a world where anyone: entrepreneurs or companies, big or small, can accept digital payments without having to ask banks or credit card companies for permission to pay them exorbitant fees. Sounds crazy, but more than 120,000 merchants around the world from Microsoft to Stoney Creek Roasters Coffee in Dayton, Ohio accept bitcoin.

Imagine a world where billions of dollars in small business loans are unlocked by entrepreneurs in the developing world because of clear access to property title — enabled by the Blockchain. Sounds crazy, but the Government of Honduras is already working on this.
