Fintech Finance Podcasts: The FF Salon Pilot with Christiana Imafidon
In 2008, the elusive persona Satoshi Nakamoto launched the Bitcoin whitepaper Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, since the creation of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies has changed the payments game forever. Now, everyone wants in.
We are joined by blockchain innovator Christiana Imafidon for this FF Salon, author and Education Ambassador for the Government Blockchain Association, who takes us on a deep dive into the blockchain and why it’s the key component of modern fintech.
“The catalyst was seeing Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter launch Square, the payments company. And I thought, hold on, these are Silicon Valley heavyweights, entering into financial services, this is ripe for disruption, what’s going on?”
Blockchain technology is integral to the infrastructure and protection of crypto and digital payments. Through the hackathons Imafidon participated in which specialised in digital identity and customer authentication, it was clear that blockchain is where all these components are represented.
The secrecy around Nakamoto’s identity is thus illustrative of what blockchain technology enables, anonymity of identity and freedom of movement in digital finance.
“I wonder whether or not they will reveal their true identity?” ponders Imafidon. The question is, does it really matter?
