Thanks again ffsapa, I see education as key in blockchain space right now, and this article is great because it really succinctly explains the main points, and huge potential, of blockchain for the new investor. Going to store that to share again on here in future if you don't mind.

Great stuff ffsapa, thank you :) And Airportr arguably isn't even one of VELA's big kahunas in its multi-horse investment stable...

Quite pleased I got myself a 185k top up on open :) gonna be a good few weeks.

Excellent article thanks Botak. On that back of that I just noticed Stellar today has pushed into 7th place in the crypto charts, past Cardano.

STELLAR up 10+ % today, largest rise of the major crypto currencies. Maybe something to do with the blockchain conference name drops, or a growing recognition and appreciation, or may be completely unrelated, who knows? Either way, the cream of the crop shall rise to the top...

This surprised me (thanks to DTM's Twitter feed). Easy to overlook AirPortr when it's alongside VELA's other investments, but returns me to an earlier point about multiple horses in the stable. https://apex.aero/2018/03/28/luggage-concierge-airportr-5.3-million-investment?platform=hootsuite Luggage Concierge Service AirPortr Secures �5.3M Investment... AirPortr has experienced a �rapid growth of adoption� of its home bag check-in service with British Airways, according to Darby. BA�s OneWorld Alliance partner American Airlines is now also offering the service, initially for flights departing from London.

Also, he is impressed by Stellar. Mentioned some craaAazy fast transaction speeds which I had not heard before.

So a bit of background on the the speaker I just mentioned. Very interesting and useful talk. His name is Stefan C. Heilmann�� CEO at IEG, which is an investment banking group. He is also a partner at DGT Future Group. Highlights: very keen the industry becomes more transparent and institutional. Extremely bullish about blockchain.

Guy just speaking said: In 2017 ICOs outpaced venture capital investment 3.5 times You can't talk this away :)

Gotta go, will miss you BIGtime mate.

Good move Applegarth :) I'm only talking to him because I'm bored today and he is alone, sad and angry and very much needs somebody to talk to.

Hi SS - I see the use of capitals was just too irresistible. I�ll try explaining it a different way and while I hope the message might go in this time. Although in your case, �past performance IS an indicator of future results� :) You also don't understand what is fake news so, again wrong there. Your posts fit the bill quite well on the "fake news" front though. Every company, not just intermediaries, are at risk of having competition from a blockchain version of themselves. VELA is literally part owner of a company that will allow businesses to step above their competition by empowering software developers applying their existing skills to build their own blockchain applications.

Entertaining as always SS, but also completely wrong :) The power of the distributed ledger is that it commands much greater trust than any existing processes, because without an intermediary it�s immutable - it will become expected by consumers that things are blockchained, otherwise they won�t be trusted, and building trust is fundamental -and worth a LOT of money- to business. So in fact as education and awareness snowballs around what blockchain actually is, your argument carries less and less water. And like this, BLU and LION are also examples of how it will rebound as well.

"...claims a decentralized network is necessary for a cryptocurrency to be successful in the long term. This is why he split off from Ripple to form Stellar in 2014. A centralized financial payment system will be no better than PayPal or Swift, he told CNBC�s �Fast Money� on Friday. He said decentralization provides the path to network growth and ubiquity." https://www.ccn.com/stellar-founder-ripple-co-founder-cites-importance-of-decentralization/

that's not �!

All the bills seem to arrive this month, but couldn't resist a dinky top up 48.6k. This is only going one way.

Thank you Lightus and ffsapa. I read somewhere recently that one of the key features of all Warren Buffet's investment stocks is scalability. One of the major plusses of the investments of both VELA (including BTL) and BLU (Satoshipay). Also notable that Interbit is 3rd gen blockchain tech. In-house blockchain is the way for so many industries. Excited re. partnership update!

I can't as got work. But yeah, me too Mick. Now I'll get back in my coffin and await my sentence.
