Abstract

Blockchains are new technology layers that rewire the Internet and threaten to side-step older legacy constructs and centrally served businesses. At its core, a blockchain injects trust into the network, cutting off some intermediaries from serving that function and creatively disrupting how they operate. Metaphorically, blockchains are the ultimate non-stop computers. Once launched, they never go down, and offer an incredible amount of resiliency, making them dependable and attractive for running a new generation of decentralized services and software applications. The Business Blockchain charts new territory in advancing our understanding of the blockchain by unpacking its elements like no other before. William Mougayar anticipates a future that consists of thousands, if not millions of blockchains that will enable not only frictionless value exchange, but also a new flow of value, redefining roles, relationships, power and governance. In this book, Mougayar makes two other strategic assertions. First, the blockchain has polymorphic characteristics; its application will result in a multiplicity of effects. Second, we shouldn't ask ourselves what problems the blockchain solves, because that gives us a narrow view on its potential. Rather, we should imagine new opportunities, and tackle even more ambitious problems that cross organizational, regulatory and mental boundaries. Drawing on 34 years of technology industry experience as an executive, analyst, consultant, entrepreneur, startup mentor, author, blogger, educator, thought leader and investor, William Mougayar describes a future that is influenced by fundamental shifts brought by blockchain technology as the catalyst for change ... Just as the Internet created new possibilities that we didn't foresee in its early years, the blockchain will give rise to new business models and ideas that may still be invisible.

Abstract

Since Bitcoin appeared in 2009, the digital currency has been hailed as an Internet marvel and decried as the preferred transaction vehicle for all manner of criminals. It has left nearly everyone without a computer science degree confused: Just how do you "mine" money from ones and zeros? The answer lies in a technology called blockchain, which can be used for much more than Bitcoin. A general-purpose tool for creating secure, decentralized, peer-to-peer applications, blockchain technology has been compared to the Internet itself in both form and impact. Some have said this tool may change society as we know it. Blockchains are being used to create autonomous computer programs known as "smart contracts," to expedite payments, to create financial instruments, to organize the exchange of data and information, and to facilitate interactions between humans and machines. The technology could affect governance itself, by supporting new organizational structures that promote more democratic and participatory decision making. Primavera De Filippi and Aaron Wright acknowledge this potential and urge the law to catch up. That is because disintermediation-a blockchain's greatest asset-subverts critical regulation. By cutting out middlemen, such as large online operators and multinational corporations, blockchains run the risk of undermining the capacity of governmental authorities to supervise activities in banking, commerce, law, and other vital areas. De Filippi and Wright welcome the new possibilities inherent in blockchains. But as Blockchain and the Law makes clear, the technology cannot be harnessed productively without new rules and new approaches to legal thinking.

Abstract

"Deuxième révolution numérique", "ubérisation ultime", "machine à confiance"... la blockchain laisse présager une révolution des usages comparable à celle portée par l'Internet dans les années 90.La promesse de la blockchain est en effet majeure : des transactions instantanées à des coûts minimes et sans organe central de contrôle. Cette technologie a le potentiel de totalement changer les règles du jeu dans de nombreux secteurs économiques, à commencer par le système bancaire. Comment se préparer ? Laurent Leloup décrypte de façon très pédagogique le fonctionnement d'une blockchain, les expériences en cours, les perspectives. Surtout, il pointe les questions à se poser et aide à diagnostiquer les opportunités liées à la blockchain dans chaque secteur. Au-delà des implications économiques, c'est une profonde transformation sociétale qui s'annonce. Car la blockchain est avant tout une révolution de la confiance, portée non plus par un tiers de confiance - banquier, notaire, etc. -, mais par un système décentralisé et partagé. Un nouveau monde se profile [Quatrième de couv.].

Abstract

This book focuses on the financial and economic law framework regarding virtual currencies or crypto-assets in Europe. It establishes a typology of virtual currencies or crypto-assets and assesses whether they can be considered as money. It analyzes whether the existing EU legal frameworks on electronic money, payment services, anti-money laundering, and markets in financial instruments can be applied to virtual currencies or crypto-assets. A functional comparison is made to the US, where more regulatory initiative has been identified (Resource: Intersentia).

Abstract

Ni monnaie fiduciaire, ni moyen de paiement scriptural, le bitcoin est une monnaie électronique inclassable dans l’arsenal des moyens de paiement. Le bitcoin et son protocole associé la Blockchain sont fondés sur une technologie disruptive des échanges sur un réseau distribué et « indélébile » : ils permettent de vérifier, réaliser et enregistrer des transferts – transactions et authentification de documents – en temps réel, à moindres frais en supprimant les intermédiaires potentiellement corruptibles et défaillants. Cette mutation des tiers de confiance bouscule notre mode de pensée et suscite nombre de controverses. Les professionnels intervenant dans les domaines de la finance et de la confiance numérique éprouvent le besoin de comprendre les dimensions stratégiques de ce nouvel outil. Cet ouvrage pédagogique analyse, sans parti pris, les enjeux et les risques liés à cette crypto-monnaie et à la Blockchain : immaturité technique, modèles financiers, cadres réglementaire et sécuritaire. Fruit de l’expertise de quatre spécialistes du paiement, du droit et de la régulation, il éclaire le lecteur sur les perspectives de développement de cette technologie alternative.
