Japan's Biggest Bank Is Releasing Its Own Cryptocurrency in March

It will be interesting to see the financial world move toward blockchain. It's a better technology in many ways, but adoption is slow in big institutions. There will be an arms race between cryptoanarchists (who want total anonymity, and can cryptographically ensure it) and governments & banks (who want total traceability, and can cryptographically ensure it).

It's hard to predict, but I expect to see a corporatization/cephalization of blockchain over the next 10 years similar to that of the internet in the early 2000s, which had also been something of a wild west.
