Blockchain Won't Save the World S1E11: Digital Cash: Rewiring Payments and Remittances with Jack Nikogosian, CEO of Aryze
What is Digital Cash, and how does it fit in a world with Libra, Central Bank Digital Currencies and Crypto? Jack Nikogosian has made the transition from Bitcoin to ICO to regulated digital bank, and explains the unique value of central bank-backed Digital Cash for enabling access to banking for all, and the goal of zero fee remittances worldwide. A truly transformative opportunity.
In this episode we discuss:
- The challenge of bringing Bitcoin to traditional banking systems
- The difference between Digital Cash, Stablecoins, CBDCs and Cryptocurrencies
- The cost of cross-border payments and remittances for migrant workers
- How digital cash could be a better underlying asset for Facebook's Libra
- The technology architecture for a digital cash bank (core banking, Ethereum, cloud, compliance, data centres)
- How to scale a digital cash ecosystem worldwide
- Migrating from an ICO token model to a traditional shareholding and buyback model (this is really cool...)
