Blockchain

Oh, what's this?! It's all blockhead stuff to me. 'Don't be like that, boss. They were kind enough to send you a PR email.' Who were?! 'This is a PR email, isn't it?' Yeah, yeah. What else would it be?

Anyway ...

Basingstoke, UK - 8th November 2021: A new report from Juniper Research has found deployment of blockchain for cross-border settlement will drive increasingly significant cost savings for banks; rising from $301 million in 2021 to $10 billion in 2030. Blockchain implementation in cross-border settlement will enable stakeholders to leverage improved payment transparency and traceability; a critical advantage in an omnichannel payments market.

Well, I suppose it all makes sense to someone. 'Who?! Who does it make sense to?!' Ha! It doesn't bear thinking about, Voice. I'd rather not know, to be honest. Bloody hell! I mean ...

Anyway ...

The new report, Blockchain in Financial Services: Key Opportunities, Vendor Strategies & Market Forecasts 2021-2030, found large trading nations, such as the US and China, will see the biggest cost savings from blockchain use, aided by high remittance volumes and increasingly favourable regulatory environments. In these high-value remittance markets, potential for blockchain to meet critical requirements of fast, reliable, and transparent payments will be a key driver of adoption.

Oh, okay.

As a result of an expansion in the number of integrations with - 

No, actually, I'm not in the mood for ANYTHING financial. / Is it possible, I mean ... can I have some PR emails about dolphins, PR people? Please! 'Ha! Keep dreaming, boss!' Or even ... basking sharks. 'Those big freaks?!' Oh, I don't know. I suppose not. Seagulls, anyone?

Anyway, let's ENDS it all with Susannah -

Research author Susannah Hampton says: "Current international remittance processes are severely constrained by legacy systems. Proof of cost savings through blockchain use will be critical for the technology to proliferate, as will fostering a culture of acceptance for the technology from the top down."

Okay, okay. Thank you, Susannah. I mean ... never mind.

Anything else?

Must there always be something else with you people? You're wearing me out. 'Tell them about your new guitar.' I've told them. / Maybe I should have got a setup for the old one years ago ...

That new tune? I'm leaving it for a while. I want to write those three lyrics first. I might try doing them in one day. I mean, just set one day aside - like a Sunday. 'They might be a bit rough, if you do that.' I could always polish the lyrics afterwards. That's no problem.

What else?

Jesus H. Christ and the Blockchain!!! There is NOTHING else!!! Voice, talk to these people. 'I ain't got nothing to say to them, boss.'
