Yes they look good as a use case. Their SIA coin is not fixed though, so something to consider before investing. I was interested because I thought businesses like SYME was using them, so thought they were primed for growth. Still the concept is the same and it seems the SIA chain uses a centralized encrypted blockchain which would appeal more to corporates and gov. If anything it shows more compliance using sia chain rather than sia , even though sia would provide the same level of security if not more.
Pure speculation here but the Nexi and Sia merger leads me to believe Nexi are indeed our bank we have relations with. The Nexi merger captures the Sia tech to stop other banks getting ahead with their platform, there are other cloud blockchains out there but sia are first and seems to have the best infrastructure. These 3 businesses are powerful in combination. Think how legacy banking operates with slowness, high overheads, fraud and errors etc. Then look at these 3 and you will see why banks would want to move into this space. SYME is the tool to touch the globe of customers, Sia is the security and NEXI are the deposit machine to link to old intuitions/ legacy banking. How I believe the chain will work = SYME is the universal platform to engage with clients offering services > SIA is the security to facilitate it globally > Nexi will be the connection to the old banking world to draw in funding.
"Nexi S.p.A. formerly known as Istituto Centrale delle Banche Popolari Italiane S.p.A. is an Italian bank that specialise in payment systems such as Nexi Payments. The bank was specialised as a central institution of Italian Popular Bank."
Dots are connecting for me. Maybe Nexi are the bank that we have a deal with and because we use Sia for our blockchain AZ has delayed the name of the bank due to the sensitive nature of the merger between Nexi and Sia. I am speculating here and would love to here someones opinion on it
