In a week where the UK and Europe had an unprecedented interruption of the Visa network, leaving millions stranded at checkouts, and Google announcing a ban all cryptocurrency related advertising— John Jameson talks about; • Why 2018 is the perfect environment for the mass adoption and roll out of blockchain technology. And discusses • Why a move towards nationalism in Europe and the United States is leading to a lack of international trust. And why blockchain technology is the most obvious solution. • The Facebook data scandal.
