Today we met Trevor Neil from Beta Group who explained the blockchain mechanism, the global appeal of Bitcoin and what this might mean for those in financial services.
Trevor is Europe’s leading technical analysis expert & has been a trader for over 30 years.
Certainly not for the feint hearted & with a volatility rating of 100, Bitcoin has increased nearly 8x in the last year. It sits outside the realm of government intervention and is not subject to inflation. This new asset class is now capturing the interest of major investors as its shakes off its ‘bad boy’ reputation.
The CISI was proud to have a special guest appearance from Leon Rossiter, Economy Manager from Colu Group, the brains behind the Liverpool Pound; the blockchain based digital wallet that inspires local economies to be more prosperous. Leon brought the topic to life talking about the rollercoaster ride that is the start-up life.
