To the degree people argue that Bitcoin is a currency, then (a) why is it so volatile? and (b) is that desirable? You might want to consider whether a real currency can do that, or whether speculative buying is determining Bitcoin's price." Use case as currency gives investors pause 15 #BlockchainCBI Startups pivoted as certain use cases see little traction Coinbase initially promised "instant payments, simple transfers, and widespread adoption." The company's branding has since shifted to emphasize its exchange and trading platforms, primarily for investment.

SAFT: The Safe Agreement for Future Tokens October 2, 2017 39 #BlockchainCBI The apple might not fall too far from the tree Ignoring the critics, if you had bought $100 of bitcoin on January 1, 2011, it would be worth upwards of $1.7M today. While ICOs catch the eye of scam artists and regulators alike, decentralized token technology is certainly innovative, and perhaps fundamentally disruptive.

R3 investors and notes Note: Investors listed are not exhaustive of consortium's members. 52 #BlockchainCBI Key Takeaways The Road Ahead 53 #BlockchainCBI Key Takeaways: Initial coin offerings have raised more than $2B in 2017 YTD. Total ICO deals and funding are increasing at a faster clip than traditional equity deals and dollars. Mega-deals push equity funding up, but growth slows as ICOs take hold. Traditional equity deals and funding could see their highest annual totals ever, although the number of teams raising via ICOs is increasing faster. Corporate investment is set to rise in 2017. The number of unique active corporate investors has hit a high of 91 in 2017 YTD, and is closing in on the number of active venture capital investors participating in equity financings. 54 #BlockchainCBI Key Takeaways: ICOs look to remain the financing method of choice for blockchain startups. On a quarterly basis, total funds raised by ICOs surpassed total funds raised via traditional equity financing for the first time in Q2'17. More VC firms are investing in cryptocurrency hedge funds and tokens directly. Brand-name investors placing bets on top ICOs could signal institutional interest in this most recent wave of blockchain innovation. 55 #BlockchainCBI Venture investors are still looking for real blockchain usage beyond speculation. Users are necessary for the sector to mature beyond speculation. Teams holding ICOs have yet to seriously collaborate with regulators to develop strong legal frameworks. Without uniform self-regulation, state bodies will have to step in. Corporate investors will have to take a hard look at their blockchain bets. With recent successful pilots thrusting the technology back into the spotlight, corporate investors will continue to seek concrete solutions through direct investments and consortia memberships.
