Along with customer experience and digital strategies, FinTech was one of the three main topics addressed during ICT Spring. Nicolas Cary, co-founder of Blockchain was also awarded the “Europan Digitial Leader of the Year” prize during the ICT Awards Dinner. Here are some of his most inspiring quotes.

 

“Bitcoin allows us to think about money in a completely new context. We spend our entire lives in the pursuit of money. Well, Bitcoin is money for the digital age. Human beings have invented all kind of things like shovels to dig holes and tractors to dig bigger holes, why can’t we invent a better form of money?”

 

“Adopting bitcoin is a no-brainer: if you accept transactions in Bitcoin you get 100 % of the transaction’s value, while credit card companies take fees of 2 or 3% every time. With Bitcoin, when you send a payment, the person gets 100% of this payment and they get it right away”.

 

“What is really important about a Bockchain Wallet is that you are firmly in control of your funds, and you are actually building your own digital bank on your phone or computer”.
