“A blockchain, or ‘distributed ledger’, contains an immutable time-stamped record of every transaction, updated and verified by tech-enabled consensus, yet secure, transparent and immediately and directly accessible to all accorded access. With the prospects of sharply reduced costs across all industries, as well as the near-certainty of disruption and disintermediation of many payments and financial services institutions we’re confident Distributed: Markets will serve as the guide for this ecosystem as it transforms and evolves,” said David Bailey, CEO, BTC Inc.
