But sometimes yellow wood’ the chain turns out to be not so single or continuous.

  • Bitcoin's Decentralized Decision Structure
    Number 2019-12 July 16, 2019 Bitcoin’s Decentralized Decision Structure Ben R. Craig and Joseph Kachovec* With the introduction of bitcoin, the world got not just a new currency, it also got evidence that a decentralized control structure could work in practice for institutional governance. This Commentary discusses the advantages and disad- vantages of centralized and decentralized control structures by examining the features of the bitcoin payment system. We show that while the decentralized nature of the Bitcoin network “democratizes” payments, it is not obvious that the approach increases the equity or efficiency of markets or that the costs of the decentralized control structure won’t outweigh the benefits in the long run. In 2009, a paper appeared that established the philosophy The lack of central counterparties and regulatory authorities and implementation of Bitcoin (Nakamoto, 2009). Bitcoin in the Bitcoin network is viewed as a key benefit by many introduced an innovative approach to processing payments, of Bitcoin’s users. Indeed, a central revelation of the Bitcoin wherein a trusted third party in a transaction, such as a “experiment” is that a functioning payments system does bank, is replaced by anonymous people who verify the not necessarily need a central authority, such as a central accuracy and trustworthiness of the transaction over the bank, or even a bank of any kind. internet.

  • The Lightning Network - Deconstructed and Evaluated
    The Lightning Network - Deconstructed and Evaluated Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Anti-Terrorist Financing (ATF) professionals, especially those working in the blockchain and cryptocurrency environment, may have heard of the second layer evolution of Bitcoin's blockchain - the Lightning Network, (LN). This exciting new and rapidly deploying technology offers innovative solutions to solve issues around the speed of transaction times using bitcoin currently, but expandable to other tokens. Potentially however, this technology raises regulatory concerns as it arguably makes, (based on current technical limitations), bitcoin transactions truly anonymous and untraceable, as opposed to its current status, where every single bitcoin can be traced all the way back to its coinbase transaction1 on the public blockchain. This article will break down the Lightning Network - analyzing how it works and how it compares to Bitcoin’s current system, the need for the technology, its money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF) risks, and some thoughts on potential regulatory applications. Refresher on Blockchain Before diving into the Lightning Network, a brief refresher on how the blockchain works - specifically the Bitcoin blockchain (referred to as just “Bitcoin” with a capital “B” herein) - is required. For readers with no knowledge or those wishing to learn more about Bitcoin, Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos2 is a must read, and for those wishing to make their knowledge official, the Cryptocurrency Certification Consortium, (C4) offers the Certified Bitcoin Professional (CBP) designation.3 Put simply, the blockchain is a growing list of records that can be visualized as a series of blocks linked by chains. Each block contains specific information - in Bitcoin’s case, a list of transactions and their data, which includes the time, date, amount, and the counterparties4 of each transaction.

  • Inheriting Usds & Acquiring Btcs Table of Contents
    [email protected] Inheriting USDs & Acquiring BTCs How “The Great Wealth Transfer” Will Fuel “The Great Bitcoin Adoption” March 2020 INTRODUCTION Bitcoin is so multifaceted, complex, and intriguing that it can be referred to as the “Great Educator.” Mathematics, encryption, monetary economics, game theory, networking, and many more disciplines are prerequisites to understanding it in its entirety. Although bitcoin is a phenomenon that only a polymath could fully grasp, such complexity has yet to thwart off its use and/or ownership. The data not only supports that adoption remains robust, but also that the generations of tomorrow, namely Millennials and Generation X, will champion the next wave. This is particularly conspicuous when considering both generation’s beliefs, preferences, and expectations, which align with the very fundamentals of bitcoin. Coupling this dynamic with the imminent “Great Wealth Transfer,” the most significant wealth transfer that the US and world have ever seen, there is a tremendous amount of wealth that bitcoin stands to capture in the decades ahead. Using conservative assumptions, we attempt to quantify the impact of this massive demographic shift in the United States. Because of the United States’ relevance in the crypto-asset industry, as well as the breadth and quality of readily available data, we’ve focused exclusively on the US market in this discussion. We view our analysis as a potential proxy for global adoption. Over the next several decades, bitcoin will traverse through its Adoption Phase, a period where new users and investors onboard to the bitcoin network. During this period, the United States will undergo an estimated intergenerational wealth transfer of $68.4 trillion, a potential tailwind for bitcoin adoption due to this once-in-a-lifetime demographic shift.

  • Beware the Kraken BPI Staff | October 21, 2020
    Beware the Kraken BPI Staff | October 21, 2020 On Sept. 16, 2020, the Wyoming State Banking Board approved the application by U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange Payward Inc. for a special purpose depository institution (SPDI) charter.1 Payward conducts its cryptocurrency operations under the trade name Kraken, and its Wyoming SPDI subsidiary, formally called Payward Financial, Inc., will do business as Kraken Financial. According to its website, “Kraken Financial is the first digital asset company in U.S. history to receive a bank charter recognized under federal and state law, and will be the first regulated, U.S. bank to provide comprehensive deposit-taking, custody and fiduciary services for digital assets.”2 Kraken indicates it has bold plans: “[f]rom paying bills and receiving salaries in cryptocurrency to incorporating digital assets into investment and trading portfolios, Kraken Financial will enable Kraken clients in the U.S. to bank seamlessly between digital assets and national currencies,” and similarly, “Kraken’s vision is to become the world’s trusted bridge between the crypto economy of the future and today’s existing financial ecosystem.”3 At its core, Kraken Financial will custody digital assets on behalf of customers as well as hold those customers’ U.S. dollar deposits. We cannot help but believe that the structure of Kraken Financial is an accident waiting to happen--prone to the same types of run risks as medieval banks and so-called “shadow banks”—but luckily we know how to solve this problem, having grappled with it for more than 500 years.4 The bank is funded by uninsured deposits and relies on a pool of assets such as corporate bonds, munis and longer-term Treasuries to fund redemptions under stress, even though those assets can be subject to rapid and substantial capital losses in times of stress.
