When computer systems cause errors, you can end up with The Dreaded NIGO - the 'not in good order' transaction.

At the end of the day, you know yourself best.

Even a small reduction in errors and rework can have a significant impact.

I like analyzing and managing large-scale transaction processing platforms, record-keeping administration, and brokerage trading services.

We need to come up with use cases for this technology that drive clear benefits for individuals and institutions - these are our customers. Too often we see bitcoin and blockchain technologies as solutions in search of a problem. We don't just need these systems to be technically better than the alternatives - we need them to be more user-friendly.

I'm a believer. I'm one of the few standing before you today from a large financial services company that has not given up on digital currencies.
