According to BitPay’s annual report, business-to-business payments have made up over 10% of all transactions the firm has processed over the past 12 months.
On December 15, 2015, the SEC approved Overstock.com's plan to issue stock via the internet using the Bitcoin blockchain, signaling a shift in how financial securities will be distributed and traded. The blockchain is a public ledger of all bitcoin transactions maintained collaboratively through a network of computers. It allows for the programmable transfer of any asset, not just currency, enabling applications like automated spending compliance, simplified trade documentation, and faster securities clearing.

Bitcoin is revolutionizing the way the world conducts transactions. It is the currency of the future. But what exactly is Bitcoin? In this slideshare, I break down the fundamentals of Bitcoin in a digestible manner. I touch on its advantages, structure, and potential. Even if you have no idea what bitcoin is before you start watching this, I can guarantee you will, once you're done.
The document traces the evolution of banking and payments in Canada from 1812 to present day. It notes that in 1990, the Big 5 banks held 75% of the market share but that has dropped to 70% by 2013 with the rise of alternative lenders (AltFi) starting in 1997. The document then discusses the full spectrum of borrowers that alternative lenders can serve and the underlying lending process. It analyzes competitors and integrated partners while noting the large non-mortgage consumer and small business debt market. Finally, it discusses the revolution in point-of-sale lending and payments and the services an alternative lender can provide including loans, credit cards, debt management and more.
Digital assets And Currencies In The Information Age: Do Your Ones And Zero H...Bradley Perry
In the late 20th century the internet ushered in a new technological age transforming society. With this digital transformation, technologies have made a huge leap forward and our society has become internet dependent. As more people journey online and effectively create a digital society, there are questions which arise and need to be answered. Is there value to what people are creating online, how that value is determined, and what the tax implications are? This paper will explain and define what digital assets and currencies are and how to determine whether they have a fair market value.
1. The document contrasts different systems for creating and allocating money: debt-based money created by commercial banks through lending (the current system), finite cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and Positive Money where new money is created by a central authority and granted rather than lent into existence.
2. Under Positive Money, an expert committee would track GDP and recommend how much new money is needed to match economic growth, which would be created by the central bank and allocated by government for purposes like reducing taxes or debt.
3. Commercial banks would still exist but could no longer create new money through lending, addressing issues like bubbles and ensuring benefits of money creation accrue to society rather than banks.
Digital currencies such as bitcoin are electronic forms of currency that can be used to make purchases online. The document discusses what digital currencies and bitcoin are, as well as their benefits like enabling instant purchases and being impossible to counterfeit. However, they also have disadvantages like volatility and lack of development. The central bank of Egypt warns against using digital currencies and Al-Azhar and Dar al-Iftaa have forbidden them as they are not backed by tangible assets and lack regulation. In conclusion, the author initially thought digital currencies could be the future but now believes they will not due to issues like wasting energy and becoming cheap if centralized.
NORTH CAROLINA EXEMPTS SELECT BITCOIN BUSINESSES FROM REGULATIONSteven Rhyner
North Carolina has carved out regulatory exemptions for select bitcoin and blockchain businesses in a move industry supporters say avoids problematic provisions in place in other US states.
The document is a manifesto for "The Bubble Generation" which argues that blockchain/crypto entrepreneurs are the new "rock stars" building a new economy. It claims the previous generation failed and that regulations need to adapt to the new decentralized economy, which will create jobs and benefits despite critics calling it a bubble. It invites supporters and opponents to dialogue to move the industry from the "gray zone" to being openly understood and accepted.

The document discusses the benefits of accepting cryptocurrency, especially bitcoin, for businesses. It notes that cryptocurrency users doubled in the first half of 2021 and that 65% of cryptocurrency users own bitcoin. Accepting cryptocurrency can reduce payment costs, allow for near-instant payments, and increase revenue since crypto users tend to be new customers who spend more. Paying with cryptocurrency like bitcoin also has almost zero fees, no restrictions, and provides decentralized and fraud-protected payments. The document encourages understanding bitcoin and cryptocurrency to enable personal and business growth through global payment ability and passive asset growth.
Overview of all crypto-friendly cards: a lot of hype but almost nothing inside
Most crypto-friendly debit cards offer similar functionality and limits, functioning essentially as linked bank accounts that allow spending from cryptocurrency holdings. While there are over 30 such cards, usage remains niche due to limited merchant acceptance of cryptocurrencies and operational challenges for startups in meeting bank transaction volumes. Additionally, some traditional banks actively discourage cryptocurrency purchases and spending by closing customer accounts or declining transactions related to digital currencies.

Short presentation about figo: How the financial ID for the end user and a powerful banking API will foster innovation in the financial service industry!
Several US states are working to become the blockchain and cryptocurrency capital of the country by passing crypto-friendly legislation. Wyoming has passed several bills defining cryptocurrencies as assets and exempting certain tokens from securities laws. This is aimed at attracting blockchain companies to the state. Tennessee is also pursuing pro-crypto policies like legally recognizing cryptocurrency payments. Delaware was an early leader but its blockchain director recently stepped down, though the state still plans to advance its goals in this area.
The distributed ledger technology underlying cryptocurrency is advancing quickly, requiring banks to take the initiative or risk falling behind in the next generation of digital commerce.

Crypto-related clients, including cryptocurrency companies and investors, have faced difficulties finding banks willing to work with them. Major banks have refused to accept crypto-related customers or process transactions related to cryptocurrency due to concerns about risk, volatility, and lack of regulation in the cryptocurrency market. As a result, crypto companies and customers have had to find workarounds or alternative banks to handle their business, but still face challenges with international transactions and correspondent banks denying services related to cryptocurrency.
1) Fintech is disrupting the traditional banking model through faster innovation and customer experience from startups. Payments and lending are seen as the most vulnerable areas for incumbent banks.
2) Peer-to-peer lending is growing exponentially due to lower costs and better rates for borrowers and lenders compared to traditional banks. However, regulatory issues in the US pose challenges for the business model.
3) The Lending Club IPO and subsequent events highlight growing pains in the US marketplace lending industry as it faces headwinds around regulations and operational issues.

FinTech refers to any technology that helps financial institutions or consumers deliver financial services in novel and more convenient ways. Historically, banking involved long queues and paperwork, but FinTech now allows for real-time money tracking and transfers through mobile apps. Major FinTech developments over time include the credit card in the 1950s, online brokerages in the 1980s, and digital payment systems like Google Pay in the 2010s. Both opportunities and challenges exist with FinTech, such as improved convenience but also increased risks of hacking and data theft that require strong cybersecurity from financial institutions. The future of FinTech is expected to increasingly incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning.

A Challenger Appears: Ethereum Approaches Bitcoin Market CapitalizationFiroz Patel
Ethereum is approaching Bitcoin's market capitalization, trailing closely at 31% of the total cryptocurrency market cap. Ether has gathered strong support from developers and investors since its release in 2015 and its market capitalization has grown substantially. There is speculation that Ether will soon overtake Bitcoin as the dominant cryptocurrency, an event referred to as "The Flippening."
BITCOIN’S NEW USE CASES MAKE IT MORE APPROACHABLE BY CONSUMERSSteven Rhyner
Bitcoin is becoming more approachable to everyday consumers through new use cases. Fold's Starbucks app that provided 20% discounts introduced many to Bitcoin's value. Books and documentaries have also educated people on Bitcoin. Services like 21 Inc make running a Bitcoin node plug-and-play. New projects like Tritium by Purse.io and Mycelium Swish applying Bitcoin to e-commerce and food delivery are expanding Bitcoin's uses. As more applications are found, Bitcoin will continue gaining mainstream appeal and understanding.
Both Bitcoin buyers and sellers attention on the market is always focused on the cryptocurrency price. This is a defining factor that empowers traders to makes decisions on whether to buy or sell Bitcoins.

Andreas Antonopoulos is offering a 1 bitcoin reward to anyone who can find the earliest use of the phrase "The Internet of Money" after the CEO of Uphold, Anthony Watson, threatened to sue Antonopoulos for his use of the phrase. Since 2013, many experts and startups have used the phrase to describe digital currencies like Bitcoin. However, the Development Bank of Japan used the phrase as early as November 2010 in a report. Watson continues to claim ownership of the phrase as his company's slogan. Antonopoulos says he will continue using the phrase and is willing to fight any trademark claim, stating that trademarks must be defended or they become invalid.

NEW BILL MAY GIVE A GREEN LIGHT TO BITCOIN EXCHANGES IN WYOMINGSteven Rhyner
A new bill in Wyoming aims to allow bitcoin exchanges to operate in the state by recognizing digital currencies as permissible investments under the state's Money Transmitter Act. Currently, exchanges are prevented from doing business in Wyoming due to regulations requiring they hold fiat currency reserves equal to the value of customers' bitcoin holdings. The bill would amend the law to include digital currencies as acceptable reserves, resolving the issue that led the largest exchange, Coinbase, to cease operations in Wyoming in 2015. Passing the bill could restart bitcoin business activity in the state and support further innovation with blockchain technologies.
COULD ICELAND EMBRACE CRYPTO BEFORE ANYONE ELSE?Steven Rhyner

BITFURY EXPLAINS HOW TO SECURELY STORE AND TRANSFER DIGITAL ASSETS ON THE BIT...Steven Rhyner
Leading Bitcoin Blockchain infrastructure provider and transaction processing company, BitFury, has recently released a white paper entitled “Digital Assets on Public Blockchains”.
Accepting Bitcoin payments involves risks and costs for businesses. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, requiring trust between customers and merchants. Businesses must also pay capital gains taxes on Bitcoin received based on its fair market value. While Bitcoin avoids international transaction fees, its volatility and lack of mainstream adoption may limit its usefulness as a payment method for small businesses. Regulatory issues and the currency's misuse must also be considered before setting up crypto payments.

B2B Bitcoin Payments on the Rise
According to BitPay’s
annual report,
business-to-business
payments have made
up over 10% of all
transactions the firm
has processed over the past 12 months.
Global merchant payment processor and bitcoin solutions provider BitPay released its annual report for 2015 in
January. The BitPay researchers figured that the average B2B payment in 2015 was around US$2,500, 25 times
higher than US$100 average consumer payment.
While many bitcoin startups set their focus on the utilization of the Bitcoin network’s ability to handle micropayments
with robust security and low transaction fees, BitPay emphasizes the importance of business-to-business (B2B)
payments across various industries.
2. PayPal and Banks:
Inefficient
Traditionally, B2B payments include
payments sent or received between
two companies. Usually, these transactions that are substantially larger than average consumer payments are
processed via bank transfer or conventional financial platforms like PayPal. However, the inefficiency ofbanks and
financial platforms in processing payments often cause delays in payments for as long as 14 business days. More
importantly, both PayPal and banks charge nearly 10% in total transaction fees, due to their high conversion and
withdrawal rates.
In contrast, Bitcoin is an efficient financial instrument for processing large payments. Transactions settled on the
Bitcoin network are instantaneous and the transaction fees for large transactions and micropayments are
theoretically the same, although corporations and established firms tend to increase the miners fee for large
transaction for faster approval and confirmation.
Utilization of Bitcoin
The BitPay team explained that businesses are beginning to recognize the evident advantage of using bitcoin in
dealing with large payments over traditional means of payments. The Netherland-based firm saw a particular
increase in international B2B payments, as companies from various industries such as law firms, technology
startups and even freelancers have begun to use bitcoin to send and receive payments that are larger than the
average consumer payment.
“A wide variety of businesses have already started to take advantage of billing with bitcoin, including media sites
selling advertising, IT services firms, and legal and accounting services groups,” said BitPay co-founder and
executive chairman Tony Gallippi.
