Bitcoin has a bad reputation thanks to media reports about the downsides of crypto markets. It has been painted as an environmental risk, and the University of Cambridge estimates that bitcoin has generated 200 million tons of carbon emissions in the 13 years since it was invented.(1) In addition, crypto markets are increasingly seen as platforms for fraudsters and predators who become rich. by stealing from users on apps like Coinbase.(2) The common perception is that blockchain and tokens like bitcoin are speculative financial instruments that do endless damage to the environment.

Enter disruptor Bryan Daugherty who explains to Karla Jo Helms, host of Disruption Interruption how to get past the scams and use blockchain and bitcoin for business.

He has spent his 25-year career working on data security and blockchain applications. In 2022, he said THAT’S IT — I’M DONE WITH THE STATUS-QUO and went to work with the Bitcoin Association in Switzerland as Global Public Policy Director. In that role, he demonstrates to regulators how crypto markets have overshadowed the true purpose of bitcoin. The original Bitcoin White Paper by Satoshi Nakamoto describes an honest network that provides microtransactions and data security. The tokens are simply tools to access the underlying technology: smart contracts, automation, data integrity, data storage and data analytics.

Bryan explains:

• Most regulators and internet users do not realize that all data is vulnerable. It can change and change. Blockchain systems provide highly secure, resilient systems for data immutability.
• Blockchain systems have stagnated because they cannot operate on a large scale yet. If blockchain technology could reach the kind of transaction processing capacity of companies like Visa, blockchain applications could expand beyond crypto markets.
• The environmental concerns surrounding blockchain would actually diminish with greater use. It takes the same amount of C02 to process a thousand transactions as it does to process 10 million transactions. There is no need to build more blockchain processing facilities to expand its use. The energy cost per transaction will be reduced with increased transactions.
• If companies could use blockchain for transaction processing, they could gain real-time data about their customers and accelerate customer service improvements.
• Creators can use blockchain-based social media platforms to retain verifiable, monetized ownership of their work without an intermediary application like Facebook or Youtube.
• Scalable blockchain could be an upgrade to today’s internet, allowing direct verification of data, eliminating the middleman and reducing transaction fees for consumers.
