"If we in the Caribbean are to be competitive, relevant and
even revolutionary, we must embrace Blockchain
technology."
This is the view of Chairman of the Bitt Board of Directors,
Peter George. While giving brief remarks at a Bitt seminar
entitled, 'Central Bank Meets Blockchain' at the Hilton
Resort, he identified "that even though some less than savoury
comments have been made, we at Bitt are the ones on the forefront
in the Caribbean... We have spent the last 18 months building that
compliance strength. This is an opportunity for real meaningful
change".
Meanwhile Dr. Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com, stated:
"Central banks around the world are exploring digital
currencies including Bank of England, Bank of Canada, Bank of
Japan, etc.; they are all targeting 2018. The entire world is
getting that Blockchain is a better system.
