Tokenizing the Real World: How Digitalizing Off-Chain Assets is Revolutionizing Finance and Blockchains
The world of finance has never been that prone to disruptions: around 80% of personal transactions and 43% of the banking system rely on COBOL, a 60-year-old programming language. With AI, geostrategic instability, volatility in the commodity market, new financial systems from the BRICS and the adoption of decentralized network technologies, you’d better plan ahead. In this article, I will take you through the disruptive potential of the tokenization of off-chain assets or what many like to c...

Le Web3 : le Futur de l'Internet Décentralisé
Le Web 1 (de 1990 à 2004+-) est constitué de protocoles opensource, décentralisés et gérés par une petite communauté de scientifiques et d'experts. Le web était surtout composé de pages statiques et son contenu était produit par un nombre limité d'entreprises / développeurs avec très peu d'interaction – souvent nommé le web à lecture unique (read-only web).ConsensysLe Web 2 (2005-2023+-) amène l'interactivité au Web1. Les applications permettent de créer des blogs, des pod...

Investments to offset the Energy crisis
In April 2021 I wrote this piece on the role of rare-earth minerals in the renewable energy and energy storage industries. At that time, I had collated a portfolio of 21 stocks playing a key role in achieving more sustainable production, storage, and consumption of energy. I shared this list freely with those who reached out to me and still do. Since then, most of these assets doubled their valuation, and I must say they saved my portfolio as most of it is crypto assets! I pointed out that th...

The power of real-time money streaming
Payments are discrete units sent and received in monthly chunks, and captured by accountants in monthly/quarterly reports. Why? Simply because money is contained in banking and accounting systems that have always worked on such time scales. But, money is fluid, in a continuous stream of cash, flowing in and out. So why aren’t we using a real-time medium to process money transfers? For Andreas M. Antonopoulos, one of the best educators in the open blockchain technologies space, the implication...
