If you make it they will use it

 Venmo found a problem and solved it. It made it easy to make domestic personal payments. What other problems are lurking that will need future solutions in the payment industry.

Bitcoin is to blockchain, as email is to the Internet " Blockchain technology will fundamentally change how transparency and authenticity are derived with anything from food, to ownership of vehicles, to verifying memorabilia, to personal identification due to continuing centralized companies being hacked." - Tampa Conference  “The Past, Present and Future of Blockchain and C...
