Abstract
In the year 2018, we have witnessed the surge and the fall of crypto-currencies. With the surge, blockchain the new technology behind cryptocurrencies, and its idealistic footprint of advanced thoughts, blockchainism it can be perhaps called, came to enthrall our minds. Thousands of new ambitious projects have been conceived and fast activated with the worldwide frenzy of new funding through initial coin offerings a novel funding mechanism in the blockchain world. Decentralized societies, equal accesses to valuable resources, reducing the cost of middleman, freed individuals from hierarchical organizations, and reducing the spread in inequalities are some of those advanced thoughts. But the fall came; the market value for Bitcoin has collapsed more than 7 times from its peak-value; that of Ethereum has plummeted more than 12 times. These two power houses which have supported those progressive projects are now torn apart. Recent New York Times report reads, “Blockchain: What’s it good for? Absolutely nothing, report finds.” Another one reads, The Blockchain Is a Reminder of the Internet’s Failure. The same utopian promises that bloomed during the Internet’s early days are back. Be afraid.“ Should this be the end of our pursue to change and make a better world with blockchains? Obviously not. In this presentation, I would like to talk about the reality of blockchain technology and how distant it is from the ideals. With this accessment, I would like to present some of novel research progresses we made in year 2018 and talk about further research ideas to pursue in year 2019.
Week 5 - Blockchain Economics: Strategic Value in Private Blockchain Roger Royse
Instructor: Roger Royse, Founder of Royse Law Firm
Course Title: The Business Basics of Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies, and Tokens
Location: Stanford Continuing Studies
Week: 5 (of 7)
The fifth class will get into how blockchain technology will shape innovation in different industries. Relying on economic theory, we will address the question of “How can companies determine if there is strategic value in blockchain?” We will evaluate blockchain’s value in short-term and long-term perspective and explain how companies take a structured approach in developing blockchain strategies. We will examine several successful private blockchain projects such as Maersk TradeLens and look at the factors that come into play when determining whether to use a public or a private blockchain.
Web 3 and IP: Cryptocurrencies, Blockchain, and NFTsAurora Consulting
“Metaverse” is the buzziest of the buzzwords in tech and will soon be joining the ranks of “AI” and “ML” as requisite keywords in the next generation of pitch decks and patent applications. But what are the core components of the Metaverse? And what are their implications in the world of intellectual property? The Patently Strategic Podcast will be exploring this topic over the course of several upcoming episodes.
** Web 3.0: Metaverse Building Block **
We begin our exploration with Web 3.0. While it may prove to be the next great tech revolution, the broad shape and definition of the Metaverse is still more firmly baked in science fiction than in commercial tech reality. Many of its core building blocks, however, are likely right in front of our eyes (or headsets, perhaps). History shows that most major technology revolutions are rarely leaps, but instead evolutionary products of incremental steps, composed of many existing building blocks, met with market readiness. The Web 3.0 innovations of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and NFTs that are taking shape in front of us will no doubt be among these essential building blocks. With an ability to touch both our physical and virtual worlds, cryptocurrencies could form the monetary basis for all economic activity in the Metaverse. NFTs make it possible for unique items to exist and assets to be exclusively owned in the digital realm. The very foundations and infrastructure for the Metaverse and its virtual worlds could be built on blockchain.
Perhaps the Metaverse is simply how we experience the third major phase of the web – or maybe in its purest, most decentralized form, the Metaverse is built entirely on top of it. In any case, it's hard to imagine a future where the two are not inextricably linked.
** IP Implications **
This third phase of the internet also poses some of the most interesting questions for the world of IP. What will the impact be on digital property rights in a secure marketplace, governed by smart contracts? How will copyrights play in digital worlds with their own art and governance? Is there merit in considering a new type of protection category outside of patents and copyrights?
** Episode Overview **
In our inaugural IPWatchdog episode, Kristen Hansen, Patent Strategist and software patent guru, leads a discussion along with our all star patent panel, digging into:
* The fundamentals of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs – and why the hype
* The state of the technology
* Questions around what web evolution, blockchain, and NFT technology means for IP ownership

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

3. Who Invented the Term Blockchain?
• Satoshi Nakamoto (2008) did not use the word blockchain in the seminar paper but there
were a few sentences linked to blockchain such as Chain of Blocks
• The concept of Cipher Block Chaining was first mentioned by Ehrsam, Meyer, Smith and
Tuchman (1976). Basically, the encryption of the message or information is sequential.
• It is suspected that the original word for blockchain was separated as two words Block Chain.
• Hal Finnay wrote in a note to Satoshi on Nov 9 2008 as archived in The Cryptography Mailing
List with three reference to Block Chain.

On Page 3
• “As later blocks are chained after it,
the work to change the block would
include redoing all the blocks after
it."
01
On Page 7
• "This prevents the sender from
preparing a chain of blocks ahead of
time by working on it continuously
until he is lucky enough to get far
enough ahead, then executing the
transaction at "that moment.
02
5. The Late
Hal Finnay
wrote to
Satoshi in
2008
• “it is mentioned that if a broadcast transaction does not
reach all nodes, it is OK, as it will get into the block chain
before long.”
• “Does she need to go back through the coin's entire
history of transfers, and make sure that every
transaction on the list is indeed linked into the
"timestamp" block chain?”
• “The recipient just needs to verify it back to a depth that
is sufficiently far back in the block chain, which will often
only require a depth of 2 transactions.

7. The Future Thinking
1. “It is not the economy that is in
trouble, it is your business that is in
trouble.”
2. “Failure is an option here. If things
are not failing, you are not
innovating enough.”
3. “The red pill and its opposite, the
blue pill, are popular culture symbols
representing the choice between
embracing the sometimes painful
truth of reality (red pill) and the
blissful ignorance of illusion (blue
pill).”

9. The Essential
Factors of
Production
• The 4th industrial revolution, evolved from the digital
innovation, has rewritten the entire production function
with emphasis on different factors.
• Data, Time and Capital Raising Ability are now more
important than land, labour and capital.
• Geographical location and hard infrastructure are less
important because the computational powerful server
that occupies a small area can be located far away in the
cloud.
• Labour is less important as they can be replaced by
Robots powered by Artificial Intelligence.
• Ability to raise funds has become more important than
merely capital stock.
• Perhaps there is little point in making distinction between
primary or secondary factors of production and more
important to focus on the essential factors of production.
10. Data, Time
and Ability to
Raise Capital
• Data that have the characteristics of being
voluminous, high velocity, collected in various
forms, with veracity is an essential production
factor.
• Time Compression, measured as Computational
Power or otherwise (such as drones for delivery
time) that are harnessed from hard- and soft-
wares, is also essential for production.
• Finally, the ability for fund raising/capital will
ensure that companies with negative cashflow
can be sustained for a longer period.

30, 2015). Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2668049
DESCRIPTION
12. Do you need a
blockchain to
build a
Hinternet?
• Hinternet is a large population of sticky customers
using a service in the virtual space such as the
Internet.
• Alipay and Grab have a large LASIC Hinternet that
they can sell a wider range of products to the sticky
customers.
• Blockchain is not needed to build a Hinternet
business but to sustain growth, you may need the
last D, i.e., Decentralization.
• Digitalization + Disintermediation + Democratization
is enough to build a Hinternet of sharing services.
• Decentralization builds a higher barrier so that a
monopoly and oligopoly market structure will not
take shape easily.
13. Why does
Satoshism
flourish?
• Lack of Transparency
• Transactions Fees
• Transaction Details
• High Cross Border Fees
• Lack of Resilience
• Lack of continuity with a single
point of attack
• Lack of protection of historical
record
• Lack of Distribution of Wealth
• Lack of decentralized and super-
divisible money (10^-8 BTC=1
Satoshi but theoretically higher
precision is possible)
• Lack of technology to distribute
wealth and assets over time
• Lack of Individual Control of Privacy
• Lack of control of encrypted
personal data
14. Weakness of Satoshism
Inefficient
• Computation (Transactions
Per Sec, POW, Latency)
• Storage (Multiple Copies,
Block Size, Block Storage)
• Energy Consumption
(POW)
01
Lack of Privacy of
Ledger
02
Lack of Guidance
• First mover advantage in
ownership (No Expiry Date
of Ownership)
• Technology can do bad
03
15. Essential
Features of
Successful
Blockchain
• LASIC
• Resilience
• Transparency of transactions
• Personal control of privacy
• An enabler for 4Ds
• An enabler for collaboration of
untrusted parties globally
• An enabler for asset ownership sharing
globally
17. Private Blockchain
• Reality vs Hype
• A new form of database that allow shared ownerships
across organizational boundaries.
• Between Private Blockchains with Public Blockchains
• Similar in design but worlds apart in use cases.
• Between Private Blockchains and databases
• Similar in use cases but worlds apart in design.

25. 2. Digitization and Democratization: Now 6 People can own a cow via a ledger
or blockchain on the smart phone. The cow is identified, verified alive,
located by GPS with a chip injected into the ear or using a wearable device.
Each person or farmer owns a cow token digitized on the blockchain.
1. Old Economy: Previously, one has to form a company at the
company registrar, and owns the cow through this legal entity,
followed by issuing shares to the shareholders ($20 x 6
shareholders = paid-up capital of $120 = the initial investment).
3. Disintermediation and Decentralization: Now, we can trade Peer-to-
Peer using the cow token anywhere in the world. We can pledge the
token to another crypto bank as collateral. We don’t need an exchange
to sell or buy.
4. Bounty and Network Economy: The 4Ds apply to music, video,
picture, land, collector items, and any other form of ownership
with a chip or digitized certificate. Online crowd sourced wisdom
can be rewarded by a bounty, global crowd funding can be done
via borderless cryptocurrency, and usage can be charged using
micropayments. Activities are on a Hinternet!

30. The Future
• Blockchain will likely be the main driver for the
4th industrial revolution.
• A peep into the future world will invariably be
looking into the storage of data, smart
contracts, IoT, AI and computing power.
• The most powerful feature of blockchain is
sharing of asset ownership.
31. With e-commerce
itself rapidly becoming
a “traditional
business,” pure e-
commerce players will
soon face tremendous
challenges.
Over the next 30 years,
with computing power
as the new
“technology
breakthrough” and
data as the new
“natural resource,” the
landscape of retail,
financial services,
manufacturing and
entertainment will be
transformed.

32. At the beginning of Singapore's independence, the then Prime
Minister Lee Kuan Yew said that in 20 years’ time, Singapore
would have caught up with Burma
"I think we have to change that a bit and say: In 20 years’ time,
Myanmar will have overtaken Singapore.”

33. The Leapfrog Economy
Low margin, asset light, scalable, innovative
and compliance easy (LASIC)
It is about large sparsely populated area
connected by digital devices
It is about areas with low income and currently
excluded from the system
Real Time Transparency will lead to more
Investment and philanthropic acts!
It is about digitalization, democratization,
disintermediation, and decentralization!
Myanmar is
the
Leapfrog
Economy

37. Initial Coin
Offerings
Initial Token Sales
• Online Identity
• Standing in the Community (Community,
Creativity, Compassion)
• Whitepaper
• Technology and Source Codes
• Pre Sales and Reward/Incentives Structure
• Use of Proceeds and Valuation
• Governance Structure
• Advisors and Governors
38. What is the role of the
tokens being sold?
• User Tokens or App coins or Protocol
Tokens: to access the service provided
by the distributed network.
• Commodity Tokens: to finance the
development of the network, but are
not needed to access the services
provided by the underlying protocol.
• Debt Tokens: As a 'short term loan' to
the network, in exchange for an interest
rate on the amount. (Alarm bell?)
• Both user and commodity tokens
• Only user tokens
• Only commodity tokens
• User, commodity and debt tokensSource: http://www.coindesk.com/tokens-
crowdsales-startups/ and D Lee
39. More
Questions
• Voting Rights?
• Distribution of Cash Flow Predetermined by
Algorithm?
• No Legal Rights and Recourse?
• No Group Decision?
• Not Shares or Debts?
• No Avenue to Remove the Management?
• Building Users or Investors Base?
42. Token Economics:
Hybrid Legal or Crypto Structure
• US Security Regulation: Under the Howey test four-pronged test, an
instrument is a security if it A) involves an investment of money or
other tangible or definable consideration used in B) a common
enterprise with C) a reasonable expectation of profits to be D) derived
primarily from the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of others.
• Another US legal question: Is Blockchain a transfer agent?

security-and-exempted-securities/securities-and-exchange-commission-v-w-j-howey-co/
43. Token Economics: Creating Legal Air Gap
• In countries where tokens are not securities:
• Award of Contract: A legal entity (e.g. Pte Ltd) awarded a contract by a client
(blockchain) to write the code for the blockchain, and subsequently have an
ICO/ITS of the resulting blockchain with tokens.
• Commodity Sales: A foundation (e.g. Swiss GmbH-LLC) initiates a sale of a
commodity (Fuel/Token) required to run the blockchain on an open source
platform.
• CODE: Centralized Organized (CO) legal entity spends the tokens collected
from the Decentralized Entity (DE) blockchain ICO/ITS and the CO also collects
the revenue generated after the project of building the app as an example.
• Plain Vanilla Token Allocation: Tokens are first mined by allocators and allocated
via a computer algorithm that does not specify any specific public addresses to
receive funds.
44. Is ITS & DAO Structure all Bad? – Lior Zysman
• Flows of funds are recorded real-time on an open blockchain.
• The new JOBS Act Title 3, which opens investment in
startups to individuals, requires startups to publish financials
once a year; in contrast, blockchain accounting guarantees
their investors financial reporting all year long.
Lior Zysman is a crypto legal advisor to Wings.ai and a legal contributor to Smith+Crown. He is a practicing lawyer in
Israel. https://www.smithandcrown.com/daos-securities-regulation/
45. Is ITS Structure all Bad? – Lior Zysman
• The Act also requires businesses to publish a business plan once a year.
• In contrast, some ITS’s are powered by transparent open-source code that
any machine on a distributed network can run.
• The funds the ITS directs are also published on the blockchain, and the by-
laws themselves that determines the relationship between the ICO/ITS
participants are embedded in the code.
• The execution of those bylaws and the ITS’s accounting don’t depend on
familiar figures, like the CEO or an auditor, although the status of humans
on the edges of the network or curators has never been debated in case
law and might be replaced using formal verification methods.
• Given all this, investor expectations, a big concern for lawmakers and
regulators, are being met directly by the ITS’s code, perhaps for the first
time in corporate history.

46. Initial Token Sales (ITS’s) or Initial Con
Offerings (ICO’s)
• Many Scams! Buyers Beware!
• Risk and Complexity Classification
• High Risk?
• High Complexity?
• Definitely high uncertainty of outcome!
• Who should invest?
• Certainly not for widows and orphans
• Definitely not for speculators
• Absolutely not a traditional instrument and not advisable for the public or even sophisticated
investors
• Who? Members of the community that know the community well
• Who? Those who understand that these are experiments
• Who? Those who can mentor the companies and blockchain angel investors
• How much allocation to one’s portfolio?
• Prepare for zero return of capital
• A learning portfolio
• It is not part of the traditional portfolio but possibly the new alternatives
47. For those
Launching a
Initial Token
Sales
• Advice given by Lior Zysman
• Communication is key
• Transparency is essential
• No over promise of product goals
• No promise of Returns on Investment
• Emphasize that it is an Experiment
• Be Aware of Fiduciary Duties
48. Conclusion
and
Final
Observations
• Blockchain is not needed in many use cases that need only a
database
• For sustainability and network effect, blockchain has to scale to
serve the underserved for easy compliance
• Blockchain will scale faster if it is open, engages AI, Big data,
and IoT
• Watch and plugged into China which has mastered the skills of
scaling, financial inclusion, and user experience
• The business strategies of combining economies of scales and
economies of scope in Fintech will spill over to blockchain in
China with emphasis on financial inclusion and green finance
• China will dominate the blockchain industry because of its size
and capital expenditure on R&D
• ITS’s are for those interested in the technology and its
associated experiments
• Online identity with community spirit, good understanding of
fiduciary duties, transparent communication, under promise in
technology goals, no promise of ROI, assisting communities to
serve the underserved are key success factors.
49. Seriously, do you
need a blockchain?
Most probably
not unless you
are into financial
inclusion and
green finance!
50. The most powerful feature of blockchain is sharing
of asset ownership in a currently centralized
environment without full trust and in need of
democratization of information, technology and
services, as well as micro ownership!
