new blockchain payment system.
(3) Bitcoin has succeeded on the level of a new currency, but the payment system is
somewhat lacking. It’s very hard to use, and that’s the big challenge on the Bitcoin side.
3 Bitcoin is a technological tour de force

de- force” months ago. Earlier today, speaking with Bloomberg TV’s Erik Schatzker,
(2) Bill Gates admitted, “The Bitcoin technology is key.” Earlier today, Bill Gates gave
the final speech at SIBOS 2014, the annual SWIFT banking conference held this year in
Boston.
(3) The Gates Foundation recently pledged $50 million USD to fight Ebola worldwide.

4 Blockchain is the biggest opportunity

“Blockchain is the biggest opportunity set we can think of over the next decade or so.”

(1) Bitcoins shared ledger Technology: Money’s New Operating system.

5 PayPal president David Marcus: Bitcoin is good, NFC is bad

“I really like Bitcoin. I own Bitcoins. It is a store of value, a distributed ledger. It is also a good
investment vehicle if you have an appetite for risk. But it won’t be a currency until volatility slows
down.”

(1) Online payments will look completely different in the next decade, and Bitcoin has a better
chance at revolutionizing commerce than the NFC tap-to-pay technology, PayPal President David
Marcus predicted Tuesday.

(2) "I really like Bitcoin. I own bitcoins," Marcus said at the LeWeb conference here. However, he
believes people today do not correctly understand what bitcoins actually are, and he is not yet
ready to let people link their bitcoin wallets with their PayPal accounts.
6 Bitcoin Architecture an Amazing Advancement

“Bitcoin is a remarkable cryptographic achievement, and the ability to create something that is not
duplicable in the digital world has enormous value.”

(1) Speaking at the Computer History Museum, Google Chairman (and former CEO) Eric Schmidt
had some good things to say about bitcoin.

(2) Bitcoin is a remarkable cryptographic achievement he said on a panel. “The ability to create
something which is not duplicable in the digital world has enormous value.”

7 The Key To Powering Prosperity

“Whereas most technologies tend to automate workers on the periphery doing menial tasks,
blockchain automate away the center. Instead of putting the taxi driver out of a job, blockchain puts
Uber out of a job and lets the taxi drivers work with the customer directly.”

(1) In order to achieve prosperity, an individual must possess, at minimum, access to some form of
basic financial services to reliably store and move value, communication, and transactional tools
to connect to the global economy, and security, protection, and enforcement of the title to land
and other assets they possess legally. This and more is the promise of the blockchain.

8. IBM's global service

“Anything that can conceive of as a supply chain, blockchain can vastly improve its efficiency- it
doesn’t matter if its people, numbers, data, money.”
