In their words
Money is actually a technology. It is a social technology. It's one of those fundamental technologies that infuses society in a way that you don't even notice, like double entry bookkeeping or the printing press. We take it for granted.
Blockchain allows us to move value from point A to point B in a manner that is faster, safer and more secure than any alternative out there right now.
When we think about blockchain we put it into this spectrum — we call it the suits versus the hoodies spectrum.
