Nick Ayton on the crypto generation: There was an uprising similar to Bitcoin the 1960’s in London (a movement) where the average working man on the street, the young and disintermediated, pushed back. They spoke out as individuals and no longer wanted to conform or be suppressed as part of an obedient crowd. This was a break-out because the UK was stuck in a post-war grey period, a dull society where the powerful liked it that way and social norms encouraged conformist behavior as sheep. This young generation spawned the Beatles, The Who, David Bailey, Twiggy, Vidal Sassoon and Mary Quant – the mother of the mini-skirt suddenly developed a voice. They were part of a liberating movement, an emerging culture that encouraged people to express themselves and they did, and there was nothing the establishment could do about it.

Nick Ayton has spent more than 4 decades in technology, improving businesses and deploying the latest tech for competitive advantage. He has the knack of making the complex feel familiar and gets to the issue quickly. He gets you thinking and helps you take action, to have the right plans in place for what is to come. He is a Writer, Speaker and Lecturer about Blockchain and ranks in some lists as one of the most influential Blockchain experts on a global scale.

OK dismiss Blockchain as a fad… I dare you. A lot of things are written about Blockchain and some are very quick to dismiss it as just another NEW technology…but here is the thing. Blockchain isn’t new, as most of the underlying technology has been around for a long while and is mature. The underlying parts, the network, the devices (Smart Phones) and the servers used by Blockchain have been around for a while. The consensus mechanisms that create the rues and deliver the governance are quite old, the encryption used has been around for 3 decades or more, and the underlying software languages JAVA and C++ and others are also quite mature and stable.
