Transcript:
i guess i’m a bit of a blockchain
05:56
skeptic and probably this isn’t the
05:58
conference to be a blockchain skeptic…… ……….. i
06:06
think the use cases of blockchain tend
06:08
tend to be where
06:10
it’s like collaborative about ownership
06:12
where there’s low volume and payments
06:15
are none of those things right so i just
06:17
don’t see
06:20
for settlement for sure you know if you
06:22
look at ripple they have a protocol for
06:24
for clearing and they use a blockchain to
06:25
for settlement I could see the use
06:27
case for settlement because it’s low
06:29
volume it’s about ownership but for
06:31
payments themselves I’ve struggled to
06:33
see how blockchain can be used and and
06:35
be better than existing technologies
06:38
because what you really need is is very
06:40
very fast infrastructure and a
06:42
blockchain may become that but right now
06:45
it’s not
Additional, the second speaker, Daria, picks up on the first mention of Ripple by saying: [https://youtu.be/31kp8hTNYdc?t=555](https://youtu.be/31kp8hTNYdc?t=555)
I don’t know
09:35
the answer to that and what standards
09:37
can help level the playing fields and
09:40
streamline technology because I mean
09:42
we’re talking about you know we’ve got
09:43
the Swift Network we’ve then got and
09:45
blockchain enabled networks we have
09:47
other networks like Euro gyro that again
09:49
use completely alternative messaging
09:51
formats so I’m not sure honestly how we
09:54
we look to streamline that so I mean the
09:57
inclusion of ripple this you know
09:58
interconnected banking framework that is
10:00
one way to do it
