Too Late To The Crypto Party?
Good morning!
It seems everyone’s talking about crypto.
Consider these recent news items:
NASDAQ is now willing to take Bitcoin…. China is working to promote cryptocurrency (under regulation)…. The SEC seems to be softening its views on cryptocurrencies… Tim Draper predicts Bitcoin will soar as high as $250,000 in the next four years… The United Nations UN is Helping 80 Million People Fight Hunger – with crypto… Amazon will help you launch a cryptocurrency network in minutes… Initial Coin Offerings for the 1st Quarter of 2018 were worth more than the entirety of last year.
“Even the good parties have ‘Crypto’ in the title. There are crypto meetups, happy hours, retreats, brunches, panels, meditation sessions — the list goes on.” Medium.com
What? Hip parties? This is turning into a big deal 🙂
You know, when I start hearing about something going mainstream, I always feel like I missed the early opportunities.
It was like that back in the nineties, with the Internet.
Have you missed the boat?
I don’t think so. We’re in what I call the second big wave of crypto, applying it to whole industries.
So for example, Warren Buffett says that Bitcoin is gambling, not investing. Maybe so!
But meanwhile, his railroad, BNSF, has become the first major U.S. railroad to join the Blockchain in Transport Alliance.
Seems that Warren Buffett doesn’t like Bitcoin, but his company loves blockchain.
And that’s what we are planning here at WaterChain. We plan to fund the next wave of modular water generation systems in the world, using blockchain*.
(Wait — do you need an explanation about all this? Check out how Lorne Lantz explained it here. To me, blockchain is basically creating self-trusted transactions. Very useful if you plan to fund many, many independent water projects.)
Speaking of trust, the US government doesn’t love the unregulated crypto market. I don’t blame them.
Fortunately, some very big players (think Goldman Sachs), are working on fully regulated blockchain markets. I believe that will ensure the problem is solved very soon.
And let me make it clear: we fully intend to be compliant with applicable regulations! I made that point on Russia’s main English-speaking TV network back in March:
(US viewers might not know the network too well, but it’s HUGE in Asia and Europe, with reportedly 700 million viewers and 25% of the world’s cable subscribers.)
And… have a great week.
Your CEO,
Riggs
